Strasys “Thinking Differently” Webinar Series
In our second webinar we discuss new approaches to closing the performance gap. It is no secret that the healthcare systems such as the NHS face significant financial pressures. For many years, a key response to financial shortfalls has been pursuing cost improvement programmes (CIPs) to deliver substantial financial savings. This has spurred a lucrative market in supporting organisations to get a ‘grip and control’ over their finances.
Do these approaches work? Why is the issue of efficiency and productivity worsening with all the investment and intellectual capital? Is there an alternative, more effective approach?
We examine current practices and suggest better ways to achieve long-term sustainability based on empirical research and experience. Our international panel share a multi-sectoral perspective on how to think and do differently to deliver better value for staff, stakeholders, and the consumer.
We cover
- The science, behaviours and human stories driving the financial performance in healthcare, focusing on the NHS (UK) as an example.
- The effectiveness of traditional cost improvement programmes and turnaround directors and their unintended consequences.
- Alternative approaches, evidence-based solutions and data-driven intelligence create value and fuel the improvement in healthcare outcomes.
