Commissioning for Value A programme to help CCGs identify value opportunities and improve healthcare for their populations September 2013
What is Commissioning for Value? Commissioning for Value is about identifying priority programmes which offer the best opportunities to improve healthcare for your populations; improving the value that patients receive from their healthcare and improving the value that populations receive from investment in their local health system. “Value in any field must be defined around the customer, not the supplier. Value must also be measured by outputs, not inputs. Hence it is patient health results that matter, not the volume of services delivered. But results are achieved at some cost. Therefore, the proper objective is… patient health outcomes relative to the total cost (inputs). Efficiency, then, is subsumed in the concept of value. ” Source: Porter ME. (2008).

What is Commissioning for Value? In his Dear Colleague letter to the NHS of 10 October – Planning for a sustainable NHS, Sir David Nicholson set out ten key points to support planning for a sustainable NHS. The letter included information about the ‘Commissioning for Value’ packs for CCGs to help you identify where there is greatest opportunity to improve outcomes. The packs aim to help identify real opportunities for improvement of outcomes and to increase value for local populations. The localised information will support discussions about prioritising areas for change, utilising resources and will help you as local leaders make improvements in healthcare quality, outcomes and efficiency. They are also the first product CCGs will receive as part of the new planning round for commissioners - a vital part of NHS England’s ‘Call to Action’ where everyone is being encouraged to take an active part in ensuring a sustainable future for the NHS.

The approach - where to look...using indicative data The Commissioning for Value approach begins with a review of indicative data to highlight the top priorities (opportunities) for transformation and improvement. This is achieved using Programme Budgeting Marginal Analysis and Spend and Outcome data to highlight those clinical programmes where the health economy is an outlier and therefore will be most likely to yield the most improvements to clinical pathways and policies. 4
Bespoke Commissioning for Value insights packs CCGs By mid-October, we will deliver bespoke Commissioning for Value packs to all 211 CCGs, with an offer of follow-up events and support.

Two follow-up events for CCGs… To support CCGs in making use of the insight packs, two follow-up events were organised for CCGs and their partners. The events were designed to: • understand what the insight packs are telling you about your population health outcomes • how to use the insights in the packs to direct your improvement efforts • learn from early adopters who have successfully used this approach to deliver results • get face to face support in surgeries where your insight packs can be discussed on an individual, CCG basis • network with commissioning support services who can help you to move forward • The presentation for these events are now online at: • www.rightcare.nhs.uk/commissioningforvalue/ Commissioning for Value 2013
