Resourcing teams to rescue programmes - Clinical Commissioning group
The Challenge
In December 2017, the newly appointed Turnaround Director of a CCG in a challenging geography needed to act fast to re-invigorate its QIPP programme. Progress had stalled following both quality and financial issues with providers, and her first task was to assemble a team to support her in re-establishing momentum. She approached Practicus to provide the interims she needed.
THE DELIVERY
As an area, it can be challenging to recruit for specialist short-term roles that are needed infrequently. It’s equally hard to attract talent from surrounding areas due to the distance between major conurbations. In short succession, we built a team of six for the Turnaround Director. The team included:
QIPP recovery specialist
2 x QIPP project managers
Improvement manager for planned care – QIPP
Improvement manager for unplanned care – QIPP
Acute project manager
THE OUTCOME
The team had a rapid delivery window, with most assignments needing to be complete by May 2018. Communication and coordination with providers has improved immeasurably.
