1. NHS-funded hip replacements increased by 40% between 2003-2011, with the independent sector providing 62% of the additional procedures. 2. Growth was faster when an independent sector provider was located nearer to the patient than the nearest NHS provider. 3. Some patients who previously would have paid privately switched to NHS-funded care at independent sector providers, resulting in some deadweight loss to taxpayers.

Dental networks will continue to be important for saving costs. Not all dental networks are equal, as they have varying numbers of providers, locations, and levels of access and overlap depending on the measurement method used. Using competitive information, one can optimize their dental network by determining the right number and types of providers to recruit, such as targeting providers located in certain areas or that are part of other popular networks, in order to maximize access and control costs.

A new study1 commissioned by Aquila Capital reveals that currently 7% of European institutional investors have any exposure to hydropower, compared with 37% to solar and 29% to wind. However, just over half (52%) of institutional investors are committed to diversifying or increasing the size of their renewable portfolio.

This document discusses a project aimed at reducing avoidable hospital admissions for dental procedures in low-income households by 40% over two years. It notes that surveys found high levels of dissatisfaction with dental services, especially among low-income groups eligible for subsidized care. The project is being governed by a councillor-led task group and aims to analyze hospital attendance data, conduct health needs assessments, map customer experiences, and design service improvements. Early findings suggest issues around cost, inconsistent service quality, and a need for advice on dental emergencies. The project could influence decisions around reforming dental contracts and water fluoridation.

General Practice Transformation Champions: Transformation of Primary Care
This document summarizes actions NHS England is taking to address challenges in primary care, such as workforce shortages and increasing workload pressures, in response to perceptions that not enough is being done. It outlines numerous initiatives to expand the primary care workforce and their skills, increase funding for general practice, support practices in working at scale, empower patients to self-care, and utilize technology. It acknowledges the GP Forward View is only the beginning and a long-term vision will be needed to fully optimize the role of general practice within the NHS.
ESOS Guide for LinkedIn
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory UK scheme that requires large enterprises to conduct energy assessments and audits to identify cost-effective energy efficiency recommendations in order to reduce EU energy consumption by 2020. The deadline for compliance is December 2015. Businesses must measure energy consumption, appoint a lead assessor, ensure all significant energy uses are covered by compliance routes, and have directors sign off before notifying the Environment Agency. Non-compliance could result in fines up to £45,000. Implementing recommendations could reduce energy usage by 37% on average. Utilitywise can help businesses understand and comply with ESOS through customized services and proven expertise.

Jamie reid
This document discusses options for improving Australia's health insurance risk equalization system. The current system largely eliminates cost differences by age through subsidies, but other cost differences remain. It shares over 40% of claim costs between insurers. The document evaluates options like risk-based capitation, a high-cost claims pool, and incentives for younger people to join. It concludes that while risk equalization systems require periodic change, modifications to the high-cost pool and incentives for youth could lengthen the life of Australia's current system before considering more substantial reforms like risk-based capitation.
NHS Sustainability Day Nottingham Road Show 2014
This document provides an overview of an NHS Sustainability Day event being held by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. The event will include presentations on topics like sustainability in practice, carbon reduction efforts at the Trust over time, sustainable travel initiatives, renewable energy projects, and waste reduction efforts. It also outlines some of the Trust's key sustainability achievements and challenges. The Trust has seen reductions in its overall carbon footprint and core building carbon emissions of around 25% in recent years through various initiatives. However, measuring impacts year-to-year has been difficult due to changes in the Trust's structure and data sources. The event aims to highlight best practices as well as ongoing challenges and opportunities in making the Trust more sustainable.

2) Analysis of hip and knee replacements showed they increased substantially on the NHS between 2003-2012, with non-NHS providers responsible for over half of the rise. Some increase was due to demographics but there was also evidence of substitution from private to NHS funding.
3) Reforms opened up more NHS-funded care to non-NHS providers but the NHS remained the predominant provider, and further growth of non-NHS providers may be limited by NHS demand and

Bob Ricketts, NHS England - Open Forum Events' NHS Commissioning and Procurem...
The document discusses the challenges facing the NHS, including an aging population, rising rates of chronic diseases, increasing costs and resource constraints. It argues that the NHS needs bold, transformative solutions to reshape services at scale and pace. New commissioning approaches like outcome-based population commissioning are proposed to incentivize integrated care, better outcomes and value. Examples from places like Staffordshire aim to develop new payment models and contracts with lead providers to coordinate care for defined populations.
Monitor general practice services 17 09-13
Monitor is conducting a review of general practice services in England to determine if commissioning and provision of GP services is operating in the best interests of patients. As part of this review, Monitor invited comments on patients' ability to access and switch GP services, providers' ability to develop new services and locations, and new models of primary care. Monitor has received written submissions, conducted stakeholder interviews and events, and will publish a statement on what they have heard and any next steps. They are interested in hearing from patients on topics such as the importance of seeing the same GP each time, ability to access a GP in a reasonable time frame, ability to see a GP or register at a convenient location, and ability to switch GP or practice
HSJ Intelligence Conference 2015
The document summarizes insights into key issues facing the NHS in the next 12 months from several speakers at the HSJ Intelligence Conference. It discusses the deteriorating financial situation in the NHS, with deficits expected to spread beyond smaller hospitals. Commissioning roles may change with clinical commissioning groups on the path out. Provider performance is expected to fall across the board on metrics like A&E waits and cancer treatment times. Integration of health and social care is rising in political priority.
Judith Smith: The future of commissioning
The document discusses the future of healthcare commissioning in England. It summarizes that commissioning has struggled to shift care away from hospitals, reduce emergency admissions, and decrease health inequalities. New research found commissioning involves more relationship-building than transactional work, but the effort does not always match improvements. It questions what outcomes clinical commissioning groups should focus on and whether commissioning should facilitate integrated care rather than acting as market shapers through contracts.
Local health care expenditure plans and their opportunity costs
This document summarizes a presentation about estimating the opportunity costs of local health care expenditures in Scotland. It discusses how spending decisions are made at the margins between least and most cost-effective services currently funded. The study aimed to estimate Scotland's cost-effectiveness threshold using data on marginal services but found too much variation to derive a reliable estimate. Spending decisions were actually driven more by other factors than cost-per-QALY evidence. The mismatch between objectives of the NHS and HTA bodies suggests the threshold does not represent the true opportunity cost of funding decisions.

Parallel Session: Achieving High Quality, Financially Sustainable Healthcare
Achieving financially sustainable healthcare now and in the future is likely to mean changes to how and where people access services. This means that NHSScotland needs to consistently deliver high-quality care at a lower cost and against rising expectations and demand. This session investigates the current thinking and practice around the critical links between improving quality and delivering on efficiency. Professor Cam Donaldson, author of ‘Credit Crunch Healthcare’, challenges delegates on their thinking around ‘traditional’ delivery of efficiencies and how this can impact on improving quality. Sally Campbell from NHS North West England also describes the journey to delivering best value in HR services.

Implementing Bundled Payments: A Deeper Dive
A Bundled Payment can be defined as “a single package price that provides a positive margin for a comprehensive and specific set of healthcare services delivered by multiple providers over a specified period of time.”
There is growing consensus that this payment methodology, and the powerful spillover effect from extensive care redesign associated with its implementation, may be the most effective strategy to reduce spiraling healthcare costs.
The secondary hypothesis is that bundled payment creates sufficient financial incentives to encourage multiple stakeholders to re-align and focus on improving the value of healthcare delivered to the patient.
There is data, including from the Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute (CJRI), which supports these hypotheses. Despite growing interest in bundled payment methodology, however, there are numerous upside challenges and downside risks. In this webinar, these issues will be reviewed and a cogent strategy for implementing a bundled payment program presented.

It identifies key themes from the patient, clinical, and practice perspectives. Initial feedback indicates the resource will be useful to prompt conversations with patients on their vision for primary care excellence and help co-produce quality indicators for GP contracts. The Unit aims to inform ongoing primary care work through their methodology of rapidly conducting evidence reviews to balance rigor and timeliness.
Evaluating the impact of choice on place of care
This document examines the effect of patient choice and Independent Sector Treatment Centres (ISTCs) on treatment location in England from 2003 to 2011. It finds that while ISTCs increased the number of procedures conducted outside the NHS, their overall effect was small due to a limited number of sites. The distribution of referrals also became more concentrated at the GP practice level during this period.
Joan Saddler: Implications for putting patients and the public first
The document discusses the implications of NHS reforms for patient and public engagement and outlines three key points:
1) The reforms emphasize patient-led care and involvement of patient experience in quality measures and GP commissioning will require effective public engagement.
2) Mandatory engagement requirements may cause tension with discretionary powers and consortia will be legally required to involve and consult patients.
3) Understanding patient priorities from surveys and improving patient-centered care can boost outcomes, but sustaining change requires long-term cultural shifts more than quick fixes.
Canadian Medical Association March 2010
The document summarizes the efforts of the English National Health Service (NHS) to reduce wait times for patients and improve overall system performance between 1997-2009. Key points include:
1) NHS prioritized reducing wait times which had become a top public concern. Targets were introduced to drive down waits for emergency care, elective procedures, outpatient appointments and diagnostics.
2) In addition to targets, system reforms like increased transparency, patient choice of providers, and competition helped incentivize improvements.
3) Wait times fell dramatically across all areas, often meeting or exceeding targets. This correlated with improved health outcomes like lower in-hospital mortality rates.
4) A combination of government support
Jamie Reid
This document discusses options for improving Australia's health insurance risk equalization system. The current system largely eliminates cost differences by age through subsidies, but other cost differences remain. It shares over 40% of claim costs between insurers. The document evaluates options like risk-based capitation, a high-cost claims pool, and incentives for younger people to join. It concludes that while risk equalization systems require periodic change, modifications to the high-cost pool and incentives for youth could lengthen the life of Australia's current system before considering more substantial reforms like risk-based capitation.

Automation, Employment, and Health Care
This document discusses the potential impacts of automation on healthcare employment and discusses alternative views beyond job loss. It notes that automation may lead to reconfiguring of healthcare work rather than outright job loss. Examples of existing technologies that have automated tasks in healthcare like pharmacy automation and emerging technologies like decision support systems and personal health tracking are provided. The document advocates that automation could lead to a virtuous cycle in healthcare if it allows workers to focus on tasks that require human skills and judgment.
Public perspectives on the NHS and social care
Anastasia Knox, Research Director at BritainThinks presented on the public perception of the health and care system at the 2017 Nuffield Trust Summit.
Evaluation of the Integrated Care and Support Pioneers Programme
This document summarizes the findings of evaluations of the Integrated Care and Support Pioneers Programme in the UK. The evaluations found that while Pioneers aspired to comprehensive system change, their activities focused more narrowly on initiatives like risk stratification and care coordination teams. Progress was difficult to measure against indicators and Pioneers faced challenges from financial pressures and competing priorities. The evaluations concluded that further integration will be challenging under increasing demands on the health system.
Ensuring success for new models of care
The document discusses lessons learned from the Southwark and Lambeth Integrated Care (SLIC) program in London. Key points:
- SLIC aimed to reduce hospital admissions and care home placements for older adults through risk stratification, holistic assessments, and care management.
- Success required agreement on the problem, dedicated teams, funding shifts to support community care, and leadership development.
- Future programs need a strong business case, co-design with citizens, and a dedicated "engine room" team to drive local transformation.

Providing actionable healthcare analytics at scale: Understanding improvement...
This document discusses measurement for quality improvement. It explains that measurement in improvement aims to provide a basis for action to improve processes and outcomes, rather than just estimating parameters. Improvement measures should be simple, specific, and available in real-time. Statistical process control methods are important to separate normal variation from changes resulting from interventions. Examples are provided of run charts measuring improvements in recording BMI for mental health patients and compliance with care bundles. The document advocates making the theories behind improvement efforts more explicit.
Local and national uses of data
Ramani Moonesinghe, Associate National Clinical Director for Elective Care at NHS England, discusses the use of data for monitoring care quality at various levels within the system.
Applied use of CUSUMs in surveillance
This document discusses using statistical process control (CUSUM) charts to monitor mortality rates at the level of individual general practitioners and health authorities. It describes how CUSUM charts could potentially have detected Harold Shipman, a GP who murdered over 200 patients, by spotting outliers in the routine mortality data. The document also discusses challenges in risk adjusting outcomes to account for differences in patient characteristics and casemix between providers. Accurately adjusting for factors like age, comorbidities, and emergency status is important for fair comparisons but difficult using only administrative data.
Engaging with data
Martin Utley, Director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit at University College London, reflects upon his involvement in the launch of specific tools to monitor care quality for paediatric cardiac surgery.
Evaluating new models of care: Improvement Analytics Unit
Martin Caunt, Improvement Analytics Unit Project Director and NHS England and Adam Steventon, Director of Data Analytics at The Health Foundation share insights into how they have approached evaluating new models of care.
Learning from the Care Quality Commission
Lisa Annaly, Head of Provider Analytics at the Care Quality Commission, discusses lessons learned from the CQC as they have worked to monitor care quality over time.
Real-time monitoring and the data trap
- Real-time monitoring of healthcare services requires defining both a reporting window and data window to accurately capture demand, activity, and wait times.
- Using only a reporting window (e.g. a single month) to request data can result in invalid or misleading performance metrics, as it does not account for patients with long wait times.
- Defining a larger data window that includes all patients requested before the end of the reporting window and reported after the start avoids this problem, but requires a counterintuitive data request.
- Without properly defining both windows, real-time monitoring can provide an inaccurate picture of service performance and falsely suggest the need for more resources.
Monitoring quality of care: making the most of data
Chris Sherlaw-Johnson, Senior Research Analyst at the Nuffield Trust, introduced the Monitoring quality of care conference and gives an overview of some of the approaches that we've been using at the Trust to identify where care quality has been improving, especially for frail and older people.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Jon Sussex: Capacity, choice and private ownership
- 1. Jon Sussex Nuffield Trust and IFS seminar 13th September 2013 Discussion of Kelly & Stoye “More hips please. Independent sector provision and the growth in NHS-funded elective care”
- 2. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 2 5 results 1. NHS-funded hip replacements per year up 40% (= +20,000) 2003/04-2010/11 2. Independent sector 62% of the extra 3. Growth faster when new ISP nearer than any NHS provider of hips 4. Substitution of NHS-funded hips for 1/3- 2/3 privately-funded hips at AQPs 5. Small crowding-out of NHS Trusts by ISTCs (not significant by AQPs)
- 3. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 3 3 main issues Distinguish between effects of: A. Increased capacity B. ‘Choice’ and provider (quality) competition C. Private ownership of providers X
- 4. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 4 A. Capacity • DH set out to increase capacity and activity and succeeded because: • Premium prices (≥+11%) to cover set-up costs/risks and elective-only (=> lower cost) ensured new provider interest • Initial ban on poaching NHS clinical staff, so no crowding-out NHS capacity • Initially no private hospital companies already operating in the UK were awarded ISTC contracts, so no crowding-out private capacity • ISTC take or pay contracts meant zero marginal cost to PCT per patient at ISTC • Plenty of unmet demand and ISTCs aimed at it
- 5. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 5 Deadweight loss • 1/3-2/3 of ‘private payers’ switched to NHS funded care • => deadweight loss to the taxpayer: >4,000 out of 20,000 extra capacity • In addition to possible (in-)equity impacts that are mentioned • [Not sure supply effect vs demand effect distinction is helpful]
- 6. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 6 B. ‘Choice’ and competition • Confirms distance important for choice • ‘Choice’ of private pay vs NHS funded already existed • Cannot tell from the study, but ‘choice’ of NHS funded provider might have increased deadweight loss by increasing willingness to opt for NHS-funded care • Study does not investigate impact on provider quality
- 7. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 7 C. Private ownership • Study says nothing about impact of ownership [Would impact of increased capacity have been the same if all providers had been NHS owned/nationalised?]
- 8. Discussion of Kelly and Stoye 13/09/2013 8 Other questions • What happened to ISTC activity when first round contracts expired? • What happened to NHS Trusts subcontracting to other providers (and does HES data reflect this)? • NHS hospital site vs Trust HQ location? • ISP hospital site vs company HQ location?
