At Dr Foster Intelligence we believe that clinicians and managers share a common agenda for improving the quality and efficiency of health and social care.
Delivering targets such as reducing emergency admissions, improving mortality ratios, reducing length of stay and cutting bed days relies on the provision of good-quality information.
Our web-based tools enable both managers and the frontline providers of health and social care to understand performance, formulate strategies, monitor implementation and track improvements.
The operating framework sets out the specific business and financial arrangements for the NHS during 2008/09. It describes the priorities not only for the next year but also the longer term view out to 2011. The existing commitments, national requirements and national priorities (with a local focus) also set out the framework for assessment of all NHS organisations. The choice available to PCTs in partnership planning, work with local authorities and their on-going JSNAs help to push forward the priority of locally-led healthcare.
The focus on primary and social care presents Dr Foster Intelligence with an exciting challenge. We have traditionally worked most closely with secondary care data and have only relatively recently begun to examine more closely primary and social care data. What this means for our customers, our partners and future users of our data is a dedication to innovation, quality and ease-of-use in understanding relevant healthcare information.
