Positive lessons have been learned during COVID-19, particularly the speed with which the NHS embraced digital solutions and delivered a successful vaccination programme.
Quality and clinical improvement
In line with the quadruple aim of better health, better care, better value, and valued and equipped staff, systems need to provide holistic person-centred care. They need to empower people to remain independent and well for as long as possible and, when they need care, ensure it is easy to access and well-coordinated across every care setting.
This is hampered by operational pressures and resource constraints, which requires more than simply working harder. It requires developing new ways of working and new models of care to meet the rising demand and enable care to be effectively delivered in the home, the community and hospital, to best meet individual needs. In parallel, there needs to be a focus on preventing ill health by working with local authorities and other agencies to promote health and wellbeing, tackle risk factors and reduce health inequalities.
In supporting clinical improvement across care specialities, we use our blended teams incorporating subject matter experts to:
