In its simplest terms, insourcing allows a contracting authority to make use of unused premises and equipment to deliver extra clinical capacity when it is not in routine use.
Scoping of Service
We will initially have an in-depth discussion with key stakeholders within your service for us to understand the demands and associated bottlenecks you are facing.
Understanding the hurdles that are causing these backlogs, such as staffing shortages, lack of clinical capacity, or just the sheer number of referrals that are coming through, will allow us to develop and deliver a safe and practical solution to reduce your waiting lists.
Service Proposal
Once we fully understand the demands of your service and what is expected to be delivered.
Our specialist team will tailor a detailed plan of action of how we intend to utilise our resources, in tandem with your own where appropriate, to meet the expectations laid out in the initial scoping session.
Feedback/Site Visit
Secondary discussions will take place once our initial proposal has been considered, allowing feedback, adjustments and final agreement.
Where appropriate, this will include a site visit so that we can fully understand the logistics of delivering said service based on the on-site facilities and resources available. It’s also a great opportunity for us to meet the team face to face and ensure that our partnership is built on a foundation of trust, as well as quality of service.
Commencement of Work
Once terms have been agreed and everything is in place, our team will commence delivery of the service.
As the primary focus of our clinicians will be the appropriate discharge of as many patients as possible, you should start to see an immediate reduction within your pathways, reducing the waiting time for patients and freeing up valuable space for further referrals.
Review
We will provide regular reviews of the service, gathering feedback from both our staff and the Trust’s.
This is paramount to not only identify and correct any inefficiencies within the service as quickly as possible, but to also ensure that the service being delivered is of the highest quality and surpassing the expectations laid out in our agreement.
