3. the value the whole population derives from the investment in their healthcareTo successfully increase value for both patient and population, health service reform must integrate both in an single model; separately, they become opposing imperatives
4. Right Care for Patients – No decision about me without me No patient faced with a significant decision about their healthcare should decide in the face of avoidable ignorance. All healthcare, even of the highest quality, carries risks as well as benefits and the patient needs to know sufficient about both and be supported in making a personaldecision which is right for them. Patient Decision Aids are important tools that the patient can use to supplement and complement the information exchange in the consultation and ensure that they make a high value decision which is right for them, when there is not clinical evidence in favour of single best option. However, the clinician needs to personalise that evidence to the unique clinical condition of the individual, as well as to the patient’s unique values and preferences and the patient needs to be supported by access to decision support interventions ( such as Patient Decision Aids, short comparison tables, decision coaching etc). Empowered patients, making informed decisions, can deliver high value care for both the individual and for the whole population served by the service; evidence shows that Shared Decision Making is the best route to ethical and sustainable demand management. Every service needs to ensure that the patient has the time and resources to participate in decisions about their care. For this to happen, shared decision making needs to become embedded in the culture of healthcare, which includes clinicians, patients and the public and in the management of healthcare, both commissioning and delivery of healthcare.
5. Right Care for populations – commissioning for value “Value in any field must be defined around the customer, not the supplier. Value must also be measured by outputs, not inputs. Hence it is patient health results that matter, not the volume of services delivered. But results are achieved at some cost. Therefore, the proper objective is.. the patient health outcomes relative to the total cost (inputs). Efficiency, then, is subsumed in the concept of value. ” Source: Porter ME.

8. manage investment in treating conditions such as at a Programme Budget level, so that questions such as “how much is spent on diabetics and for what benefit?” can be accounted for
9. ensure that the systems delivering care are integrated across the whole pathway in order to control unwarranted variation in outcome, quality and efficiency of care and improve patient experience
20. Is our spending on RA above or below average compared to similar populations?
21. How do we compare, with other populations, on activity, quality and outcome?
22. What are the objectives, standards and criteria needed for an RA system of care for a population?
23. What commissioning service models can support the delivery of a safe, effective service, that delivers a good patient experience and provides high value for the commissioner and the local population
