The document outlines the organizational structure of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. It shows the relationships between various bodies that provide healthcare, commission care, regulate standards, support research, and empower patients. These include NHS trusts, clinical commissioning groups, Healthwatch England, the Care Quality Commission, NHS England, and other national and local organizations.
The document compares public and private health care systems around the world. It provides details on systems in countries like the UK, Mexico, Germany, Canada and the US. Public health care in Canada began in 1946 when Saskatchewan introduced free health care. Key acts in 1966 and 1984 further established Canada's national Medicare system. While Canada spends less per capita on health care than the US, it ranks higher in terms of quality and life expectancy.
Comparing the four health systems of the UKNuffield Trust
The document compares the four health systems of the United Kingdom and finds that while all have improved performance over 20 years, with Scotland showing improvements linked to targets and sanctions, the performance gap between England and others has narrowed. Spending has increased across all countries but slowed due to austerity. England performs marginally better on some indicators like mortality rates, but Scotland and Wales have seen deteriorating waiting times for procedures. The North East of England has benefited from higher health spending and seen improvements in outcomes exceeding Scotland's gains over the same period.
The document compares healthcare systems in several countries including Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the US. Some key points of comparison are:
- Canada has a single-payer universal healthcare system funded through taxation. Each province administers its own plan.
- France has a hybrid public-private system where the government pays about 80% of costs and private insurance covers the rest.
- Germany has a social insurance model where citizens purchase insurance from nonprofit sickness funds based on income.
- The UK has a socialized system where the tax-funded National Health Service provides public coverage and options.
- The US has a mixed system with public options like Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance.
Our series of organograms explain how the NHS is now structured, including how providers are regulated, who can influence the commissioning of services and where the money goes.
The Health and Social Care Act (2012) paved the way for far-reaching reforms to how patient care in the English NHS is organised, managed and delivered. The changes were formally implemented on 1 April 2013.
This slideshow outlines the main changes to management, accountability and funding structures resulting from the Act.
The first slides show the old and new structure in overview, together with a slide detailing the transitional arrangement. Further slides compare the earlier arrangements that were in place for funding, regulation and monitoring, advice and performance management, and patient and public participation, with the new system at both the national and local level. The final slide outlines the new medical education and training arrangements.
You are welcome to download and use individual slides in your own presentations providing suitable acknowledgement is given.

The document discusses the concept of a welfare state and Britain's national healthcare system, the NHS. It explains that Britain adopted a welfare state model after WWII to provide basic services like healthcare for all citizens. The NHS was created in 1948 as part of this welfare system. It then discusses challenges like rising costs and an aging population that have led the government to manage spending, increase efficiency through privatization and personal responsibility, and focus on quality of service through various NHS improvement plans.
The organizational chart outlines the U.S. House Democrats' health plan and shows various government departments and agencies involved in health care such as Health and Human Services, Veterans Administration, Defense, Labor, and Treasury. It also includes programs for health insurance exchanges, Medicaid, Medicare, public health initiatives, and offices that oversee civil rights, health information, and quality improvement. The chart provides an overview of the interconnected roles and responsibilities across the government in implementing the Democrats' health care reform plan.

This document discusses the implementation of an RFID-based asset tracking system at London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Health Care in London. The system was implemented to track infusion pumps across multiple hospital sites. Key benefits included reducing time spent locating equipment, improving utilization rates, and supporting maintenance activities. While the project faced some technical and user challenges, it demonstrated the potential for RFID to enhance operations and patient care through improved asset visibility. Next steps may include expanding the system to track more device types and integrate with other clinical systems.

This document provides biographical and career information about Bradley Rotter, an investor and speculator. It outlines his educational background which includes degrees from the University of Chicago and time working on Wall Street and the Chicago Board of Trade. The document also lists some of Rotter's past writings and investment newsletters covering topics like the peak of US civilization and concerns about declining standards of living. Lastly, it shows examples of organizations and businesses Rotter claims operated for many years but eventually went broke.
The Barrie and Community Family Health Team (FHT) acts as a central hub that connects various health sectors in the community. It has 68 family doctors across 34 sites and provides comprehensive primary care services. The FHT aims to strengthen bonds with other sectors through information technology networks to improve communication, education, and quality improvement efforts. It coordinates several programs related to chronic disease management, prevention, and care of unattached patients. The four main pillars of the FHT's work are quality improvement, research, service, and education/communication.
The document describes the health and social care system in England from 2010-2013. It shows that the system is overseen by Parliament and funded by government grants and local income. It is regulated by the Department of Health. In 2010 there were 10 SHAs, 152 PCTs, and over 8000 GP practices serving 52 million patients. By 2013, SHAs were reduced to 4 regions, PCTs to 50 clusters, and 211 CCGs were established to replace PCTs in authorizing care. The system involves partnerships between health and social care authorities to provide shared services across organizations.
The document discusses two different architectures - the current architecture and a goal state architecture. The current architecture lacks integration between different care settings. The goal state architecture aims to improve integration through a shared patient record, standardized clinical data exchange, and defined care pathways that can manage patient cases across different care settings. It outlines strategies like enabling integrated healthcare services, adopting health infocomm technologies, and connecting core health systems to support the goal state architecture.

The document outlines China's plan for establishing a universal basic healthcare system called "Phase 3: Healthy China". The overall objective is to provide safe, effective, affordable healthcare for both rural and urban residents. The new health system reform plan includes public health services, medical services, health insurance, and drug production/supply systems. It also describes primary care services in China which are provided through community health centers and integrated with public health. The community health services package includes health maintenance, treatment/referral, health education, and family planning.
Martin Bardsley: Quality In Austerity-Indicators of QualityNuffield Trust
1) There are concerns that financial pressure from austerity measures may negatively impact healthcare quality, though more data is needed to establish clear relationships.
2) Multiple organizations currently monitor various quality indicators, but coverage is uneven across different settings and dimensions of quality.
3) Developing a comprehensive and standardized set of quality indicators that can be tracked over time across different care settings is an important goal, but collecting useful data, especially from patients and independent sectors, remains challenging.
This document discusses the changing landscape for integration between the NHS and social care in England. It outlines the new legislative, fiscal, and ideological contexts, including the creation of clinical commissioning groups, health and wellbeing boards, and increased competition in the healthcare system. It questions how compatible competition and collaboration are and whether these changes will facilitate deeper integration or more tactical partnerships between organizations.
