Passionate about - the Benefits Approach

Submitted by Hugo_Minney on Mon, 09/29/2008 - 08:16

I met some old college friends over the weekend, and realised the contrast between those following their passion, and those who'd accidentally ended up where they were. It made me wonder "am I following my dream?"
I'm passionate about the benefits work I do because i believe that it can make a difference.

"10 High Impact Changes for Service Improvement and Delivery" - NHS Modernisation Agency

Submitted by Hugo_Minney on Fri, 09/19/2008 - 22:19

It was naturally followed by a whole spate of spin-off documents - "10 High Impact Changes for Primary Care", "10 High Impact Changes in Mental Health", etc

Community Matrons were asked to report on activity levels as a way of justifying their costs, but they wanted a more outcomes-based way of reporting. We developed a balanced scorecard aligned to the employing provider organisation and commissioning organisation’s own key priorities.

Workshop: Developing Benefits Frameworks

Submitted by Hugo_Minney on Sat, 04/29/2006 - 17:00

The key to delivering benefits across a whole health community is to ensure that each project, each initiative is understood in context.
This is what is meant in World Class Commissioning terms by the whole stream of "assessing needs", "Review Current" and "Decide priorities" (WCC was presented in 2008).

Getting GPs involved in Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG)

Submitted by Hugo_Minney on Sun, 01/29/2012 - 23:26

Keywords:

Life in the YearsMost healthcare providers, in UK the same as everywhere else, get paid for each activity they do.  If someone needs care, they get paid.  If someone is well, they don’t.  So there isn’t much incentive (for the healthcare provider) to keep people well, even though it is much better for the person, much better for the nation, and much lower cost.  Minney.org Ltd is working with one CCG to generate enthusiasm and involvement, and the results are fairly successful….

Getting GPs involved in GP Commissioning

It could be any of a number of reasons, and we believe it's about understanding.  What's more, with our experience of doing exactly this (supporting GPs to get engaged), we can demonstrate how we've made a difference, and how it could work for other CCGs.
