Joined up care Derbyshire (JUCD) is the Derby and Derbyshire health and social care partnership for adults and children. The formal establishment of integrated care boards (ICBs) in 2022 has necessitated working in partnership to meet system-wide financial duties and service delivery targets. Collaboration can be difficult and requires transparent and trusting relationships to be built across the system.
There is increasing recognition that collaboration across organisations as well as interdisciplinary teams, including finance, clinicians, project managers and informatics professionals, is vital for ICBs and wider systems to achieve the Health and Care Act 2022 triple aim of improving health and wellbeing, the quality of services, and efficiency and sustainable use of resources.
However, this must be achieved within financial envelopes and with capacity constraints. Limited availability of additional staff and pressures on physical space are drivers for organisations to focus on improving the use of resources to improve productivity and reduce waste.
This webinar will share what JUCD has learned from using a unified electronic project management office (ePMO) solution to implement a collaborative approach to the development of the ICS. The discussion will cover:
• our approach and the key features of our ePMO
• how ePMO content is driving reporting and assurance across the system
• the challenges we have overcome
• the benefits we have realised
• where we are going next with development and application of content.
