- An examination of the key drivers of reconfiguration and the evidence underpinning it with a view to helping those planning and implementing major clinical service reconfigurations.
- It investigates the five key drivers – quality, workforce, cost, access and technology – across 13 clinical service areas, summarising the research evidence and professional guidance available in each.
- The evidence did not suggest that reconfiguration, including moving to a more community-based model of care, will deliver significant savings.
