Surrey and Sussex SHA Implements performancesoft pbviews

performancesoft Inc., the acknowledged leader in Performance Management solutions, is pleased to announce that Surrey and Sussex Strategic Health Authority (SHA) has selected pbviews for use in its own organisation and by the twenty eight Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and Trusts that comprise its area.

Surrey and Sussex, one of the largest SHAs in England, works closely with the fifteen PCTs, seven Acute Hospital Trusts, two Ambulance Trusts and four Mental Health and Specialist Services Trusts that are located in its jurisdiction to deliver health services to the community of 2.5 million people. Its aim is to support the local National Health Service (NHS) organisations in delivering the NHS Plan and continuous improvement in the provision of health services in the area.

"Our goal as a Strategic Health Authority is the same as every other NHS organisation, to continuously improve the delivery of health services to the people of our community," said David Smith, Director of Performance, Surrey and Sussex SHA. "To do this, we need to ensure that we and the Trusts in our area have all of the tools needed to make good decisions about complicated issues, such as where to devote our resources and how to work more efficiently without sacrificing effectiveness. We believe that pbviews is one of these critical tools, helping us to ensure we have accurate, timely information about our current performance, and allowing us to quickly identify areas for improvement before service delivery is negatively impacted."

Surrey and Sussex will use pbviews to measure and report to the Department of Health on the delivery of the NHS Plan in its area. In order to deliver this information, the performance team in the SHA has developed a single framework of performance indicators for all the Trusts to use in their reporting back to the SHA. In using a single framework, the SHA has a useful basis for comparing and identifying best practices in different Trusts.

In addition to reporting back to the SHA, however, each Trust also has its own database in pbviews that it can use to manage performance internally to its own strategic objectives and goals, and using its own performance frameworks and indicators. In this way, pbviews can be used not only for performance reporting on the NHS Plan, but also to help Trusts manage their performance to achieve improvements according to their own strategic objectives.

"We are delighted to be working with Surrey and Sussex Strategic Health Authority on what we believe is a unique and innovative approach to Performance Management in the NHS," said Steve Fluin, CEO, Europe, Middle East and Africa, performancesoft Inc. "Effective Performance Management is never more critical than in healthcare, and we are pleased to have been selected to aid Surrey and Sussex in their goal of better decision making to support continuous improvement in delivering quality healthcare to their community."
