NHS Clinical Commissioners, NHS Providers 14 December 2018
- This report explores the changing relationship between commissioners and providers in the context of system working. It highlights a number of common success factors that are facilitating system working:
- Strong collaborative and clinical leadership that transcends organisational boundaries and is focused on delivering care to meet the needs of a local population.
- Establishing ‘one version of the truth’ that can drive honest open and honest conversations.
- Supporting staff to work flexibly across systems, potentially pooling resources or appointing joint posts.
- Involving all system partners, including local authorities and the voluntary and independent sectors.
