Project Description
Objectives
In 2010, NHS England set a £20bn challenge to all NHS organisations. For this acute hospital Trust it translated to a 5% target, amounting to £30m within a two-year period. The Trust established a formal Transformation Programme and set an ambitious target of £19m in the first year, and £9m in the second. The first stage was to establish a Programme Management Office (PMO) and governance framework for the programme.
What we did
A plan was developed which identified savings, milestones and accountabilities related to each business unit. Our support involved;
- Establishment of a Programme Management Office (PMO) and governance framework for the programme.
Development of standard programme documentation and tracking mechanisms.
Establishment of a Quality Impact Assessment process with supporting documentation and tracking of quality indicators to ensure that patient safety and quality of care was not compromised through the stringent cost reduction process.
Management of an extended PMO team comprised of clinical leads, operational leads, finance managers, HR and workforce business partners to ensure a whole-system approach to the cost saving process was achieved.
Our impact
Our results included;
- Two-year plan prepared, implemented and delivered. £19.1m cost reduction delivered in FY11/12 and £9.6m in 12/13 which delivered 5% year on year savings.
Change leadership of the Trust’s Service Improvement Team to become Transformation Business Partners and form a PMO delivering the above savings.
Established a formal governance and reporting structure including an Executive Transformation Delivery Group, and the Transformation Steering Board chaired by the Chief Executive.
Preparation of the monthly Transformation Trust Board papers, and regular communications regarding the Transformation Programme for circulation publicly and internally.
