Formic Launches White Paper – Liberating Clinical Audit in the NHS
Formic has launched a White Paper that reviews some of the issues faced by the NHS in trying to embrace a wider use of clinical audit and outlines innovative solutions that can support patient experience analysis.
Secretary of State for Health, Andrew Lansley, recently set out ambitious plans to reform the NHS. The Government’s White Paper ‘Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS’ details how power would be devolved to patients and clinicians. Clinicians are to be free to focus on making improvements to health outcomes. Patients are to get more choice and control, supported by an ‘information revolution’ so that services are designed around them.
In order to deliver the Government’s objectives the capture of information needs to happen on the front line in real time to ensure data accuracy and lead to much faster feedback to clinicians, patient experience management, the NHS Trust Board and patients.
As the Government’s White Paper admits “too often the patients are expected to fit around the services, rather than the services around the patient.” Getting the right, proven solutions in place will help towards achieving a patient-led, accessible service, that will go a long way to helping the NHS deliver the productivity and efficiency to which it aspires.
