Commissioning Intelligence

The challenges

Managing commissioning budgets and addressing financial risks, even for a relatively small commissioning organisation can be challenging. The wide range of contracts and the complexities of tariff pricing make it critical to understand, monitor and manage levels of activity across contracts to stay in control of performance and money.  Holding NHS contracts brings a variety of responsibilities, which have considerable technical complexity, such as verifying provider charges against tariff rules and contract terms.

Even though money is tight, the most precious commodity is your time and attention as commissioning leaders. You need to take action where it matters, avoid action where it doesn’t, and use the time of key clinicians, staff and partners wisely.
