Diagnostic Transformation Options Appraisal
Context
As the local ICB continued to streamline its functions in line with the mandated Running Cost Allowance reductions, the Acute Provider Collaborative sought to review the funding and hosting of its crucial Diagnostic Transformation Team. This team had successfully led on driving excellence across the system and in accessing large-scale capital funding for system-level diagnostic investment.
Akeso were commissioned by an Acute Provider Collaborative to deliver an options appraisal and business case for the reconfiguration, funding and hosting of their Diagnostic Transformation function.
Methodology
The work was delivered across three core areas:
Options Appraisal
Akeso supported the Collaborative by working with a large cohort of local stakeholders from across multiple clinical disciplines, partner and client organisations to deliver an options appraisal to select the most appropriate, effective and sustainable host organisation and funding stream for the Diagnostic Transformation Function.
Operating Model Review
This exercise also included a review of the Team’s size and configuration in order to ensure optimal effectiveness and value for money for the final model.
Full Business Case Development
Having scoped, developed and agreed preferred options, Akeso developed a Final Business Case for the selected service and funding model, supporting the Client in navigating this through the complex local provider landscape.
