Improving the value of diabetes care in Slough

"The Commissioning for Value Insight pack for Slough CCG identified that diabetes presented an opportunity for both quality improvement and financial savings. These opportunities were indicated by higher numbers of non-elective admissions compared with similar CCGs and also higher prescribing costs for conditions resulting from complications in cases of diabetes that were not well controlled."

Delivering High Value Care Pathways

"In this scenario we examine a typical long term condition pathway, comparing a sub-optimal but typical scenario against an ideal pathway. At each stage we have modelled the costs of care, both financial to the commissioner but also the impact and cost on the patient, family and their contribution to society. We show how the Right Care methodology can help clinicians and commissioners to improve the value of the care pathway."

Right Care essential reading: Programme budgeting and marginal analysis

"Before starting marginal analysis, payers and commissioners will expect clinicians to examine their own budgets. Payers and commissioners will want assurance that: the entire programme budget is allocated optimally to the different conditions within that programme; after allocation the service achieves high value from the resource allocation.

Priority setting - NHS Right Care reading list

"Priority-setting is by no means clear-cut, in part because it involves values as well as evidence. People who are responsible for resources, whether those resources be financial or time related, have to make priority decisions. They either have to allocate new resources or reallocate existing resources."
