Resources and case studies
A number of teams from across our partnership are using Value Based Healthcare methodology to improve the care they provide to our patients and service users.
Measuring outcomes that matter to patients and carers
- COPD – we implemented integrated practice units to improve value in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our intervention resulted in a 50% increase in pulmonary rehabilitation referrals, 34% reduction in COPD admissions, and a 17% reduction in length of stay
- Parkinson’s disease – we enhanced clinical management of non-motor symptom burden in Parkinson’s Disease. Our intervention is now used worldwide for cutting-edge clinical trials and patients feel empowered to report non-motor symptoms and receive appropriate treatment
- Palliative care – we measured what outcomes mattered most to patients. Our Palliative Care Outcome Scale is now used internationally and has been adopted as routine in nine hospitals and community palliative care services across south London
- Catheter care – we improved catheter care to help people lead more independent lives and reduce hospital admissions. Our intervention has resulted in a 30% reduction in catheter-associated urinary tract infections in our hospitals
Optimising value by understanding outcomes and cost
- Three Dimensions for Diabetes (3DFD) care – we integrated psychological, social, and diabetes care. Our intervention yielded savings of £225,000 in one year, a 45% reduction in A&E attendances and predicted savings of £2,425,000 over five years
- Transforming Outcomes and Health Economics through Imaging (TOHETI)
- Orthopaedics – we redesigned the orthopaedic care pathway to manage patient care on condition rather than departmental basis. Our intervention reduced length of stay to well below the national average and resulted in £1.5-£2m in annual net savings.
