Kings Fund 3 October 2018
- This report explores how three different organisations (the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Bolton NHS Foundation Trust and Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) are attempting to improve the value of the services they offer to patients. It examines how they have developed organisation-wide strategies to improve value, and on how individual clinical services or teams have pursued value improvement.
- Common conditions for success include fidelity to a clearly defined strategy that brings the various strands of value improvement work together; recognition that value improvement is a long-term commitment that will require considerable staff time and resources; and a new leadership approach that requires continuous engagement with frontline clinicians and managers.
