15 Nicholson “4 Year” Challenge NHS faces 'decade-long savings drive' BY NICK TRIGGLE HEALTH CORRESPONDENT, BBC NEWS 21 st March 2012 THE NHS FACES A DECADE-LONG SAVINGS DRIVE, MANAGERS BELIEVE. THE WARNING FROM THE NHS CONFEDERATION CAME ON THE DAY OFFICIAL WORKFORCE FIGURES SHOWED NURSING POSTS HAD FALLEN BY 1% IN THE PAST YEAR.

19 POLICY EFFECTS

20 EFFICIENCY SAVINGS cutting “back office” management, limiting staff pay and pensions, selling assets, rationalising procurement and drugs purchasing, and re-aligning the NHS IT programme. POLICY EFFECTS

21 PREVENTION AND PRIMARY CARE Arguments for early intervention and care “closer to home” often highlight the savings from avoiding hospital admissions, as well as the benefits for patient care If the NHS provides more care in community settings and reduces the use of hospital services, then there will need to be substantial reconfiguration of services, POLICY EFFECTS

22 IMPROVING CLINICAL EFFICIENCY As NHS funding tightens, another option is to try to target resources on clinical interventions that optimise health outcomes The King’s Fund has suggested money could be saved by reducing the length of stay in hospitals and using lower cost drugs. POLICY EFFECTS

23 Healthcare Impact Redesign Smaller acute hospitals Planning by Pathways Long term condition management Community led Clinical networks across health economies Increased focus on outcomes and value for money

24 Pharmacy and Medicines Impact Hospital, Community Health and Community Pharmacies working in a networked way to: Access scarce expertise Reduce clinical risks and hospital admissions More focus on cost benefit analysis of new medicines Outcomes of medicine use assessed in the real world after licensing: Assess clinical benefit against drug cost Assess healthcare resource use against drug cost Confirm continued or expanded use

25 Hospital Pharmacy and Medicines Impact Homecare Expansion Reduced costs Patient convenience and experience ?? How do we gain assurance about safety, optimum outcomes and service quality ??

26 Medicines Procurement Impact Hospital Reduce stock holding and process costs Greater use of ICT in purchasing Greater use of automation Even more joint working between Trusts Divestment / subcontracting of services Increased risk assessments of all processes

27 Medicines Procurement Impact Schizophrenic role for Chief Pharmacists Support introduction of new high cost drugs to support Pharma and UK PLC ? Reduce drug spend ?

28 Medicines Procurement Impact Manufacturers / Suppliers Performance management & KPIs Improved supply chain failure management Joint planning about options for supply chain restructuring Clinical trials that assess impact on NHS resource use as well as clinical effectiveness Joint work to assess the outcomes of use of a drug in the “real world” along a whole care pathway

29 Summary Change factors affecting the NHS will impact on hospital pharmacy and medicines procurement but some appear to be in conflict The pressures for change affect both the NHS and Pharma To manage that The supply chain needs to be optimised We need to be able to demonstrate clinical and resource use value for money from buying medicines We can only do that by working together
