This health investment slide pack highlights healthcare variations at the PCT and GP Practice levels using Programme Budgeting tools to identify unwarranted variation. The analysis covers expenditure, drivers, and outcomes per disease area per PCT. It aims to provide a summary of national-level information for local organizations to explore further. Tools like Programme Budgeting Spreadsheet and SPOT help in making and evaluating health investment decisions.

QIPP Right Care NHS Sheffield Health Investment slide pack July 2010 Important: Please note this health investment slide pack may differ from other SHA’s as it was created as part of the initial pilot scheme
About this health investment pack • Purpose / Objectives – to highlight the scale of variation in healthcare at PCT and GP Practice level and demonstrate how Programme Budgeting tools can help the search for unwarranted variation and support the health investment process • The analysis presented provides a high level narrative in terms of expenditure, expenditure drivers, and the resulting outcomes for one disease area per PCT • By triangulating data from a variety of sources, the analysis draws on a wide evidence base to provide consistent messages and therefore minimises opportunities to highlight data quality issues • This pack cannot draw comprehensive conclusions but provides a summary of readily available and free to use national level information sets for local organisations to raise questions and investigate further • PCTs who want to explore these variations in more detail should take this forward through their DPH and Public Health Observatories and Quality Observatories • As the NHS moves towards commissioning by GP Consortia it is imperative that PCTs establish a clear framework and evidence base for making and evaluating health investment decisions 2
Overview • We will:- • Examine DH Programme Budget Spreadsheet and SPOT • Identify a programme area to review in more depth • Explore this programme area in the Programme Budget Atlases and NHS Comparators • Develop a clearer picture of areas for further investigation
What is Programme Budgeting? Programme Budgeting: • Outlines how PCTs cut their cake in terms of 23 ICD 10 defined programme budgeting categories; hence is a • a retrospective appraisal of resource allocation broken down into ‘programmes’ - with a view to influencing and tracking future expenditure in those same programmes. • Allows for cross sectional and time series comparisons, at England, SHA, PCT and increasingly, practice Level. Marginal Analysis - An appraisal of the added costs and added benefits when the resources in programmes are increased, or deployed in new ways. - Programme Budgeting and Marginal Analysis provides a framework to help commissioners make, track and evaluate health investment decisions.
23 Programme Budgeting Categories What is Programme Budgeting? • 14 Skin Problems • 15 Musculo Skeletal System Problems (excludes Trauma) • 16 Trauma & Injuries • 17 Genito Urinary System Disorders (except infertility) • 18 Maternity & Reproductive Health • 19 Neonates • 20 Poisoning • 21 Healthy Individuals • 22 Social Care Needs • 23 Other Conditions 1 Infectious Diseases 2 Cancers & Tumours 3 Blood Disorders 4 Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Problems 5 Mental Health Problems 6 Learning Disability Problems 7 Neurological System Problems 8 Eye/Vision Problems 9 Hearing Problems 10 Circulation Problems (CVD) 11 Respiratory System Problems 12 Dental Problems 13 Gastro Intestinal System Problems
Information Available for PCTs • This pack will provide an update on the products available to commissioners including: • Programme Budgeting Spreadsheet; • Spend & Outcome Tool (SPOT); • Programme Budgeting Atlas; • NHS Comparators. • Inpatient Variation Expenditure Tool (IVET) • These tools allow commissioners to compare expenditure and outcomes at disease level. • To access these tools visit; • www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/health-investment-network/key-tools • These tools are a starting point for the process of making health investment decisions.
Programme Budgeting Spreadsheet – Sheffield PCT Expenditure per 100,000 population (weighted by age, sex and need) – 2008/9 rank column shows PCT is a high spender on Respiratory and Dental categories

APHO Spend and Outcomes tool (SPOT) • The Spend and Outcomes tool has been developed by the Association of Public Health Observatories. • The tool allows PCTs to compare their expenditure and outcome data for each of the 23 Programme Budget disease categories on a single page. • The tool is interactive and allows PCTs to select different outcome measures and different views of the data – including a comparison with any other selected PCT. • A very useful tool that quickly allows PCTs to identify areas of expenditure that warrant further investigation.
