Taking a value based commissioning approach to non-clinical and clinical support services

Aust Health Rev. 2024 Mar 25. doi: 10.1071/AH23278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTValue based healthcare beyond the clinical domain is the focus of this case study. We share NSW Health's experiences in achieving value through a focus on outcomes in non-clinical and clinical support services using examples that demonstrate key aspects across the commissioning cycle. These include: the importance of stakeholder engagement in the planning phase to later success; the critical role of non-clinical services in patient experience; the opportunity to facilitate value by introducing new approaches in business areas such as procurement; and the role of clinical supports such as digital enablement to facilitate outcome-focussed clinical models. Applying a value lens to non-clinical services can increase the potential benefits to patients, clinicians and the system.PMID:38522430 | DOI:10.1071/AH23278
