Strata Health U.S.’s Post

Improving productivity and operational efficiency in the NHS is at the heart of our work. In doing so, we also make healthcare budgets go much further. Many of the NHS organisations we work with want to make better use of their operating theatres, to reduce the big waiting lists for elective care which built up during the Covid pandemic. At one Trust, we reviewed theatre use and helped them to: • Improve weekly activity by 40% on a consistent basis • Reduce costs by £650k, with no negative impact on the service We’ve also overseen the process to cut the Trust’s spending on agency staff by a further £250k, whilst developing strategies to increase the average number of cases on operating lists from 2.7 to 3.6 per session. #healthcare #nhs #CIP #efficiency

The NHS is simply incredible. Every day, our National Health Service affects the lives of 1.6 million people; improving lives, helping people in times of need, and welcoming new born babies to our planet. As with anything worth fighting for, the NHS has some complex challenges to overcome. Hospital beds are full, staff are struggling, ambulance services are over-stretched, and waiting times are rising. Our Vivid Care specialists are out there every day, supporting the NHS in both the community and in hospitals. That’s why we’re working with healthcare professionals up and down the UK to solve some of the NHS’s most difficult problems. And that’s why our Research & Development teams are challenging the status quo, innovating care equipment to create proven outcomes, and sharing our knowledge and findings with our NHS colleagues.

Kingsgate has been helping the NHS to change and improve for around two decades now. During that time, we’ve seen a wide range of challenges across finances, ways of working and organisational culture. And while the circumstances always vary, we pride ourselves on being able to identify and fix the problem. Ultimately, it’s about enabling NHS Trusts and local systems to increase their productivity by being more efficient. When done well, this will improve healthcare and patient outcomes too – the definition of higher-value services. #NHS #productivity

Elective recovery ❤️🩹 is a crucial objective for the NHS. Rising demands for emergency care can crowd out the capacity for accessible and effective planned care. And yet planned care is crucial to honour the NHS constitution and to proactively support people’s health needs promptly – ultimately reducing demands on emergency care in the first place. Although there is a clear need to drastically reduce the current backlog and improve elective activity across the NHS, growing demand, workforce issues and funding constraints makes this an incredibly challenging task. And in an election year, these challenges are only going to gain prominence. Last year, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) had the largest patient waiting list and the longest waits for elective care of any provider in the country. We worked with them to maximise the use of their Trafford Elective Hub, utilising patient insights and improving theatre productivity to increase elective activity. Our work with the fabulously dedicated team at MFT highlights the power of management consulting and service leaders working in collaboration to deliver notable improvements. And these results hopefully provide a source of optimism that significant progress is possible. Click here to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eC6juqVR #CFimpact #Electiverecovery #NHSwaitinglists

Why do financially challenged NHS organisations commit to buying support from Kingsgate? It’s because we consistently provide a major return on investment which far exceeds our fees. We do this by working with hospitals and local healthcare systems to find significant achievable savings, by transforming how services are delivered without compromising patient care. At one NHS trust, the Kingsgate team reduced staffing costs and delivered savings of more than £20m. #NHS #efficiency #financialrecovery #ROI

‘Virtual Wards’ are a ‘hot topic’, seen to be a crucial part of NHS plans to increase capacity and tackle the increasing operational pressures facing the NHS. But what is a ‘Virtual Ward’, what benefits will they deliver and how well is the NHS doing in delivering on its ambitions?  I’m very excited and incredibly proud to announce the publication of ‘Virtual Wards: Achieving the Ambition, Delivering The Benefits’, a white paper I wrote for HomeLink Healthcare Ltd, a leading independent clinician-led specialist provider of Hospital at Home services that I had the pleasure of working with for the first time last year. This paper looks to answer these questions, explores how well the NHS is doing against its ambitions, looks at virtual ward capacity and occupancy levels across the country and suggests what needs to happen next. It also provides a helpful case study looking at how HomeLink Healthcare has been working in collaboration with NHS organisations in an Integrated Care Board (ICB) in the East of England to develop and implement a Virtual Ward programme, tailored to the local context and needs of its local population, and to the benefits that has delivered. You can download the white paper and find out more about HomeLink Healthcare here: https://lnkd.in/ecKXk-cX I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this hot topic and would be very grateful if you would share this with anyone in your own networks who you feel it would be of interest to. Finally, if you’d like someone to author a white paper on a topic that’s critical to your business, please get in touch. I love working on these – a great way to share knowledge, stimulate discussion and position your organisation as a thought leader in the space. #WhitePaper #VirtualWards #IndependentConsultant

Many hospitals remain independent because they want local control of healthcare available in their communities. So when they consolidate with a hospital chain it's often a "reluctant rational decision," says one expert. Here's what that means: https://bit.ly/3sC9Vmg #Hospitals #HealthCare

The uphill battle to reduce #NHS waiting lists is getting tougher. New #data suggests that where #elective activity has been growing, it is largely carried out by non-NHS providers with an increase of around 30% on pre-covid levels. But while independent sector providers are great at treating #patients, they often find the NHS’s #reporting requirements challenging because they lack the IT infrastructure of big NHS #hospitals. We at Insource Ltd can help. We provide automated data management and reporting systems right across the #health economy, so that even the smallest independent sector providers can report like the NHS.
