The concept of ‘value’ in healthcare – maximising the outcomes which matter to people at the lowest possible cost – is increasingly seen as a key lever for supporting the delivery of high quality sustainable healthcare. The challenge is how to do this in practice –both at an organisational and system level with the move to more integrated care for local populations. The Institute supports the NHS to improve costing, turn data into powerful patient-level information, champion multi-disciplinary engagement, and ultimately drive value across patient pathways. It is hard to argue against the theory of value-based healthcare – it needs to become the focus for clinicians and finance alike as they look to deliver high-quality sustainable healthcare services. We support our members to implement the Costing Transformation Programme and deliver value-based healthcare through our four key themes: - Confident Costing | Supporting improvements in costing - Translating Data | Making the most of patient-level cost data - Driving Value | Improving patient outcomes at lowest possible cost - Innovation | Pushing costing and value boundaries To find out more please get in touch with richard.sawyer@hfma.org.uk
