Using Benchmarking to deliver on your QIPP Agenda
The QIPP agenda has wide reaching impact for both commissioners and providers. Access to meaningful information around the whole health economy is essential to generating changes required to meet the tougher economic climate. This session brings together the collective learning to date from several cohorts across the acute and commissioning sectors who have been shaping and participating in the performance network.
Through attending the session you should gain an understanding of:
• The range of specific measures that can be created off existing data to drive local QIPP efforts across a region and the relative ease by which this can be centrally harnessed.
• The importance of collectively comparing performance and the value this has as a catalyst for implementing individual and group change.
• Leadership required to gear individual organisations up to prepare and execute on their QIPP strategy.

Sustainability
Carbon reduction is real, it’s here and it’s going to change the way the NHS does business. This session will provide participants with an introduction to carbon management and an insight into the impact on the healthcare sector of the need to reduce its carbon footprint. It will also draw on best practice and real life case studies to show participants what they can do now to cut carbon, save money and make their organisations stand out from the crowd.

Integrating 18-Week Pathway Redesign through Developing Local Clinical Assessment and
Treatment Services
NHS Oldham was recently short listed for the 2009 HFMA Efficiency Award. They had a real desire to develop a patient centred service offering choice to patients and increased flexibility in access. The development of Local ICATs also provided additional capacity in pathways that were known to be at real risk of under-performing under the 18-week Referral to Treatment framework. The reform agenda within Oldham PCT has been an incremental, continually developing set of strategies and commissioning tactics that began over 4 years ago. This session will give you the opportunity to hear of their experiences, achievements and future developments of this reform agenda.

Using Business Intelligence to more effectively fulfil World Class Commissioning, QIPP, Use of Resources and Care Quality Commission requirements
NHS Wakefield District has made a significant investment in leading edge Business Intelligence solutions to provide an accurate and valuable insight into how the PCT is performing in direct relation to the health needs of its population, assisting them to fulfill their regulatory requirements.
The PCT will provide an overview of how the solution will gather information from a large array of data sources in order to provide a holistic view of the underlying needs of the District and provide Commissioners and a wider user base with timely and accurate information on which to base effective investment decisions.

Merger and Integration
PCTs need to ensure that provider arms are transferred smoothly and the disruption is minimised for staff and patients. Structured and orderly integration is key to this process. This session will enable delegates to hear of their experience within the context of vertical and horizontal integration.

Making Sense of Productivity Statistics
National statistics on productivity are dictating PCT agenda, but converting this data into a practical plan is not easy. Published statistics are blighted by double counting, inconsistencies in measurement, confusion between both cost and income, and gross and net savings. This session will share lessons learned by PCTs that have made sense of the statistics and are turning productivity plans into reality.
Mike Thorogood, Senior Economic Advisor, Tribal
Implementing PLICS into the Community
Introducing Provider Patient Level Costing into the Community is an initiative that would allow the allocation of income and costs to be more effectively allocated across all of the Provider Arm’s organisation Service Lines. This in turn will encourage and help develop better clinical engagement and supporting improvements to the quality of care. This session will enable you to learn from a London based PCT of the challenges they presented, the project, achievements and developments for the future.
