Diffusion of MRI Units, 2000 • Source: OECD Health Data, 2003
Cost of Waiting for Elective Surgery(OECD, Working Paper no.6, 2003) • Deterioration in condition, death at the extreme • Loss of utility from delay • Rise in the cost of total treatment • Example: • A study of patients waiting for varicose vein surgery in the UK found ‘considerable deterioration’ in their condition while waiting for surgery (Sarin et al, 1993)
Opportunity Costs • 856.8 work days lost each year in the UK due to sickness, • Statutory Sick Pay & Incapacity Benefit: In England, 5-10% of the patients on elective waiting lists are on sick leave from work • 1,047,890 people waiting for NHS in-patient treatment, June 2000. • Out-patient treatment (hospital tests, specialist consultations) 13 week wait lists for 308,760 people (of which 128,532 were waiting over 26 weeks).
What is day surgery? • Ambulatory care. • Out-patient care. • Short-stay. • Minimally invasive surgery. • Diagnostic procedures. • Minor injuries. • Non-surgical interventions.

Performance Management & KPIs • KPIs • SUIs • Outcome measures DHF
CSS v CPS • The CSS contains everything that should help us specify our procurement safely for the NHS • The CPS only contains that which we consider essential to the ITT and which will deliver a VFM bid
Input and process specifications • So the sponsor can integrate ISTC care with the rest of the health economy. • e.g. what is expected from the NHS may differ between one cholecystectomy package (with a very limited follow up) and another.
Input and process specifications • Ministers will find it hard to defend untoward events in the absence of process specifications or standards • Provider can easily offer a strong argument that he was not at fault for a poor outcome (by citing biological variability)
Input and process specifications • Some procedures require specific data for national registers and these have to be specified • e.g. NCEPOD • Cataract National Dataset • e.g. National Joint Registry
Outcomes The difficulty with outcome(s) is that the results should be attributable to the treatment
Measures • KPIs • 25 ISTCs • NHS TCs • Outcome Measures • NHS TCs • ISTCs
Outline • Current NHS organisation • Aspects of the NHS • Fears of the NHS • Opportunities in the NHS • Politics of the NHS
History • Churches & Charities • Poor Houses and other reforms to 1911 • Lloyd George and the panel • 1942 to 1948 : The NHS • 1968 to 1989 reforms • Mrs Thatcher & Waiting times 1992 April • Mr Blair & Plurality
Waiting Lists • 1992 24 months (+ 6months) • 2002-2004…9 Months for treatment • 2002… 900K (to 150K) • 2008 … 18 weeks total
PM’s Target • 18 weeksto include • O.P 4/52, • Diagnostics 4/52 • treatment 8weeks……?
Differences... • Spot Prices • Speciality to Procedure Information, Refining Procedures’ Descriptions (severity, co morbidity, and case mix) • Patient Care Pathways • Clinical Engagement in real costings & interfaces • Financial Flows anticipated
Fears: commoditisation of health Contract Failure & VFM Delivery Failure : Impact on - NHS viability - Private Practice: volume -prioritisation Poor Quality
Fear of Overcapacity • PCTs (allowing lists to go up again) • Acute Trusts • SHAs • DH • Risk to NHS estate and base • Challenge to National strategy
Credentialing • GMC • People • Specialist Register • Training • Buildings, equipment, consumables • Facilities • HCC • Organisation • systems, information, registration
