Our Five Year Vision and Mission “To become the best general hospital in the East of England” “To deliver the best possible care in a safe, reliable, effective and respectful environment”
Findings and Priorities • Quality: patient safety, outcomes and patient satisfaction • Capacity and demand • Money • Compliance and access target • Strategy and strategic relationships Foundation Trust Application
Quality • Board focus: new assurance systems being refined • Patient experience - more action needed in some areas • Patient safety and outcomes: clinical working groups in place helping to deliver safe care and best practice • Patient perceptions: big improvement but A&E still an issue
Capacity and Demand Management • Significant mismatch between demand and capacity • Drives financial problems • Jeopardises access targets • Poorer patient experience • Workforce issues • Threatens the Foundation Trust application • Change in strategy needed • More support for Care Closer to Home • Internal work to reduce demand • Refresh bed strategy
Finance – Headline Results Steady delivery of surpluses since deficit in 2005/06
Growth Now Decreasing Turnover
The Auditors Local Evaluation (ALE) Excellent (4) Good (3) Adequate (2) Inadequate (1)
Delivery is varied Problems from increased demand Compliance and Access Targets • Focus on underlying capacity/demand mismatch • Prioritise • Ensure milestones for key targets with tight performance management systems
Networking important for patient care, service planning and saving money White paper maintains drive to FT for acute hospitals by 12/13 GPs to become commissioners Strategy and Strategic Relationships • New FT application with less not more activity in the future • Continue to build links with GPs, community services, local acute hospitals
Summary • Top priority: work with primary care on “Care Closer to Home” to address capacity and demand imbalance to underpin other key issues • Strategy therefore based on doing less, not more • Continue to drive quality agenda and refine assurance/governance • Focus on finance and cost improvement • Build performance management culture • Lots to be proud of!
