Leadership for Better Value

THE OXFORD CENTRE FOR HEALTHCARE TRANSFORMATION

Getting better value with the Better Value Healthcare Programme. The programme offers a multimedia learning system that will help you

ü  Maximise value by cutting costs without increasing harm or reducing benefit

Traditionally, improving value is the concern of healthcare commissioners and improving quality is the focus of healthcare providers and clinicians.

People who invest in health services want

• Value
• Allocative efficiency
• Equity

People who provide health services want

• Quality
• Technical efficiency
• Good patient experience

 

Despite tensions between the two, a more collaborative approach is needed if we are to create a better value healthcare service. A service that has the patient firmly at its centre with systems of care developed around their needs, a service that is in the ‘knowledge business’ rather than the ‘real estate business’.

The Better Value Healthcare Programme is an online development programme that equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to get the best possible value from the services you deliver – irrespective of whether you are a commissioner or a provider of services.

The multi-media programme is delivered as 10 online learning modules that are designed to improve recognition and understanding of the key issues and build skills. Topics covered include;

• Defining and measuring value
• Improving value by improving quality
• Improving patient experience
• Deciding on the most equitable way to distribute money to different populations and patient groups

 

To get the maximum impact from the programme we can work with you to adapt it to your existing culture to provide a seamless experience. Support is tailored to match your unique needs.
