Healthcare systems around the world are under threat. Despite the best efforts of healthcare leaders and workers alike, crises related to access, demand, workforce shortages and staff burnout continue to wave through the healthcare sector.
The pandemic was not the sole catalyst of these issues. A host of other considerations were troubling the sector long before the pandemic struck. These included aging and growing populations, increased non-communicable disease burden, economic inequality and a reliance on outdated technology, coupled with long-standing workforce supply and wellbeing issues.
Facing up to all this has placed an incredible strain on healthcare systems such as the NHS. It has also put senior leaders under immense pressure to act decisively and promptly.
What that means is that today’s healthcare leaders need to catalyse change within what are highly complex, often siloed, organisations. They need to secure their organisations’ future by building trust with patients and staff and achieving consensus on what needs to change, as well as why and how.
Processes and operations need to be optimised in a patient-centric manner and with no disruption to current day-to-day business activities, and patient outcomes need to be improved by freeing up staff time and empowering them to deliver improvements on the care frontline.
At KPMG, we’re ideally placed to assist with this. With over 100 dedicated staff in our healthcare practice, many of whom have previously worked in the sector, we understand how healthcare organisations work and the challenges their leaders face.
Backed by years of experience, hundreds of client engagements and an in-depth understanding of current global best practice, we can offer a different, but highly credible, perspective on the sector’s challenges.
Our approach to healthcare transformation is a holistic one that taps into the combined power of technology, communities and workforces, presenting organisations with a dynamic way forward. In creating a strategy for systemic and structural change and helping to execute it successfully, we increase organisational effectiveness and efficiency, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
As the only firm trusted to set up the first Nightingale in London during the global pandemic and being called upon by the national team to solve issues around workforce models, diagnostics, elective recovery and ambulance handover delays is testament to the dedication and commitment of our Teams. We are also the only firm to have worked with 16 Trusts to implement and sustain continuous improvement across the whole organisation.
These are just a few examples of how we believe and have implemented a holistic approach that can help deliver a more inclusive healthcare system; one that uses technology and partnerships to transform care and empower the workforce. High levels of community involvement, effective public-private partnerships and the strategic use of technology can combine to provide high-quality, tailored care and earlier interventions to prevent and treat ill health.
Such an inclusive future may only be achieved however, if current approaches to technology, communities and workforces are fundamentally transformed, underpinned by a commitment to collaboration and collective responsibility.
