Event details
Healthcare efficiency through technology
The Audit Commission has published a report on the financial performance of PCTs, NHS trusts and SHAs in 2010/11.
The findings were presented in context of the £20bn efficiency target, set in order to cope with increasing demand for services and financial pressures, as well as the requirement for every NHS organisation to engage with the Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) Programme.
The report concluded that organisations have made good progress, saving a total of £4.3bn for the year.
However, the authors have warned that 23% of these were achieved non-recurrently and, in the coming years, more determined effort will be required to meet the overall target - through recurrent savings and despite lower average cash funding increases for PCTs (3.3% less year-on-year) - while maintaining the highest quality of services. Commenting on these findings, Jo Webber, NHS Confederation deputy director of policy, said:
"With tighter finances, it will be harder to maintain the progress we have made on the quality of care and getting our books in order. It will require NHS trusts and commissioners to look at doing things differently, and more efficiently"
You will learn how to achieve this at HEALTHCARE EFFICIENCY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY EXPO on 4 Oct in London.
