The Challenge
Hereford Hospitals NHS Trust tasked UEP with working in partnership with a wide range of the Trust’s departments to improve their productivity, whilst making efficiencies capable of delivering sustainable cash release savings and more dynamic deployment of resources.
The Result
- Since implementation waiting times are now 95% in compliance with 18 weeks and 50% of cases are now completed in 14 weeks
- Improved patient experience from faster treatment
- Savings of approaching £2M in cash and increased revenue
- Potential further savings of over £10M within 4 years
- Increased theatre, staff and resource utilisation
- 90% compliance with the 18-week target in just four months, with 50% of cases completed
in 14 weeks - c£500k additional revenue generated by the streamlining of high volume procedures to release theatre capacity for an increase in hip and knee replacements.
