Healthcare is about people as much as pathways ... 

It's challenging to find a consensus on the balance of care and cost.

 

Our approach gets all stakeholders around the table to agree the starting point, the data, the goals and the way forward.

The NHS continually wrestles with the challenges of increasing patient demand, the adoption of new technology, resource constraints and the delivery of efficiencies. These are particularly acute in the management of Long Term Conditions.

Success will ultimately lead to better health outcomes at lower cost but it requires nothing less than the transformation of health and social care pathways.  It requires the reconfiguration of hospital services, effective working with community health and social care, greater prevention and a ramp up of telehealth & technology.

Service redesign is always a complex process. Many stakeholders are involved (patients, carers, clinicians, commissioners, suppliers ...), each with their own ideas for meeting the changing demands and addressing the pressures.  Aligning them all can be a challenge.
 
There is a better way!
 
A new approach has been pioneered for use by partners across health and social care.  At its heart is a collaborative service redesign process supported by cloud-based apps. These capture and re-engineer care pathways for a specific conditions (eg. Diabetes, Chronic Heart Disease, COPD).  Using them, stakeholders consider alternative service options and the most promising redesigns are discussed and refined.  Once the best option has been identified, there is already a service blueprint, the data for a business case and much of the stakeholder alignment has already been achieved. 
 
These informed choices are a solid foundation for implementation planning and approval.  The process reduces the time to initiate change and provides an agreed way to measure the real impact.  The approach and apps are
now available for development projects.
