Case Study 1
Turks and Caicos Islands
(a 25+5 year contract for a 2 Hospital DBOT)
Public-Private Integrated Partnership
(Primary and Secondary Healthcare).
Aims of the Scheme:
To improve the quality of patient care, introduce modern management processes and new medical technologies
We were asked to support what was at that time a failing PPP program, it suffered from escalating costs and deteriorating relations with the government. We stabilised spend and oversaw the program through to achieving Diamond Standard Accreditation and largely eliminated the dependency on a treatment abroad program this reduced the overall cost of the program by $12m annually.
Today the islands enjoys state-of-the-art healthcare facilities and an island program that has become a regional success story
Case Study 2
Greater Manchester NHS ICATS
Aims of the Scheme:
Aims of the Scheme: To reduce time from referral to treatment over a population of 2.6m and a geographical area 1276km2
When the Greater Manchester NHS ICATS service was launched its ambition was to decrease hospital admissions by providing a flexible and convenient assessment and treatment service that delivered efficient and patient friendly care pathways and expert support to GPs and delivers care in the community.
Seven years later the service, which is operated by Care UK, had gone from strength to strength, accepting nearly 300,000 referrals and handling over 730,000 appointments.
ICATs has reduced pressure on acute hospitals by accepting referrals and assigning patients to a member of the specialist teams away from the hospital delivering urology, ENT, gynaecology, musculoskeletal and gastroenterology services, as well as a range of diagnostics including MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, CT and the worlds first mobile endoscopy unit.
Case Study 3
Sussex MSK Partnership East
Aims of the Scheme:
Following a national survey of MSK services the program was developed to eliminate the inconsistencies of process and outcomes. To reduce spend to a national average spend per capita and deliver a MSK service that demonstrated best practice against national benchmarks
We led a multi-disciplinary team of SME’s through the design and development phase, developed the business case and advised on the program evaluation process. We conducted the market engagement events and led the NHS purchaser through the full procurement and contract negotiation phase in a complex multi-provider prime provider contract arrangement in what was one of the UK’s first Accountable Care contracts.
Seven years on the scheme is very successful and achieved £14m of efficiency saving and delivering improved MSK services across the Sussex Health economy. The commercial innovation developed during this program influenced the developments in the UK’s NHS standard contract and the purchasing of specialist services.
Case Study 4
NHS community health services
Aims of the Scheme:
With the patient at the centre of all that we do we supported the local health authority to design and implement care in the community that
improve access to quality healthcare closer to home
Working closely with the local health economy we delivered a Community Service project to support people with multiple, complex health needs who depend on many health and social care services to meet those needs. We recognized that increasing numbers of people living with long-term conditions means that more people are likely to need support from community health services in the future.
