Cost savings in healthcare organisations: the contribution of patient safety. A guide for boards and commissioners by Andrew Corbett-Nolan, Jonathan Hazen and Dr John Bullivant
In February 2010 Datix published our first report with the Good
Governance Institute on patient safety. This second report intends
to help board members and accountable officers understand the relationship between patient safety and resources. With the imperative to drive waste out of the system, this report looks at the potential contributions that patient safety can make to achieving cost reductions. It is aimed at all those on healthcare boards or commissioning healthcare services and, with the significant proposed changes to the structure of the NHS in England, the report has been prepared with an eye to the new commissioning organisations that will need to quickly develop their own thoughts about this issue.
