Healthcare commissioners

“The Intelligent Commissioning Suite includes key tools to support our delivery of the challenging QIPP programme, and development of GP-led commissioning. The tailored support will help us to engage the wider community of decision makers and clinicians across the locality and we believe this will be a valuable resource in supporting our Consortia.” - Paul Davison, Assistant Director of Finance, NHS North East Essex

The NHS is currently expected to make unprecedented efficiency savings while improving quality of care and health outcomes – and the new commissioning consortia are the bodies tasked with overseeing the process.

Doing that job requires robust, wide-ranging, up-to-date, in-depth information. And that is what Dr Foster can provide, helping you to:

• Assure the quality of your providers
• Control costs and ensure value for money
• Identify patients most at risk of multiple admissions to hospital
• Profile your population on the basis of current and future need

Our Intelligent Commissioning Suite contains a range of web-based solutions that support the full information needs of commissioners, from understanding and managing provider performance, to planning and delivering health improvement programmes based on in-depth population insight. It can be used for strategic needs analysis, as well as for the monitoring of activity, clinical quality and financial analysis.

And because we know that every commissioner will also have unique challenges, we can also create unique bespoke solutions to address those challenges. Recent projects, for instance, have ranged from calculating the cost of potentially avoidable procedures to assessing the performance of providers against a basket of internationally-validated quality indicators.
