A Trust Wide Approach to Performance Management and Outcomes Monitoring

 

In today's Outcomes focussed world, now more than ever, Trusts need to understand how they are performing against a wide range of measures if they are to deliver the outcomes expected of them.

 

For this reason, the performance management process must encompass the entire operations of the Trust enabling it to manage and improve the outcomes in those areas of its activities which may prevent it achieving its strategic and operational objectives.

 

In recognition of this new imperative, Lightfoot has developed the knowyourtrust® (kyt) approach to performance management and outcomes monitoring incorporating their unique signalsfromnoise® (sfn) solution.

 

This approach has been specifically designed so that all the quantitative measures proposed in the draft "NHS Outcomes Framework" can be incorporated and any future changes accommodated.  Similarly other measures and indicators such as those emanating from the CQC outcomes and CQUIN topics can also be added as required.

 

kyt brings a new dimension to performance improvement in the NHS.  No longer will a Trust need to depend on a disparate number of internal and external systems and sources to provide quantitative measures of its performance which are often unconnected and/or out of date.

 

kyt offers an affordable integrated management solution which brings together data from both internal and external sources to provide senior executives with the performance management information they need to control their activities.
