Health Software Solutions
The challenges for the NHS today are many, including the implementation of World Class Commissioning, the added complexity of Payment By Results (PBR), meeting RTT 18 week targets and the requirement to deliver a financial surplus at a time of looming NHS spending cuts.
The need to focus on costs
The NHS is characterised by relentless focus on financial efficiencies and achieving a solid return on investment, leading to wider tendering for services, growing use of budgeting, forecasting and planning software.
Foundation Trusts in particular are examining patient costs, strict project-by-project return on investment and process automation such as eprocurement and einvoicing. They invest in business solutions on the understanding that they will deliver real business benefits.
Where to create the efficiencies?
You may be convinced that eProcurement, document management and workflow will speed up the purchase-to-pay process to meet CSR07 efficiency improvements. You may crave the opportunity to provide business managers and directorate accountants with collaborative solutions to help deliver high quality services and attract maximum PBR funding, whilst controlling costs.
So what is stopping you from implementing a new business IT solution and realising the rewards available?
One issue may be cost. Can you be confident that spending money on new systems will drive real cost savings? Another concern may be risk. Your system may be able to meet today’s requirements but will it evolve with your organisation in order to help you embrace the next set of health care challenges that are no doubt around the corner.
