The NHS Five Year Forward View (FYFV) represents the most ambitious plan to date that aims to deliver on the three forms of integration: health and social care; physical and mental health; and acute and primary care.
In January 2015, the NHS invited individual organisations and partnerships to apply to become ‘Vanguard’ sites for the new care models programme, one of the first steps towards delivering the Five Year Forward View and supporting improvement and integration of services.
Vanguards were struggling to find one place to work together and asked NHS England for a solution that could be implemented in an agile and cost-effective manner as existing systems did not offer our vanguards an ability to share content privately within their local vanguard teams or work collaboratively as teams on key deliverables.
Kahootz was selected as it could fulfill these requirements. Initially, some 2,500 members of staff across each local vanguard and those working on the national programme were provided access. Key users included programme managers, clinical staff and formally appointed lay representatives.
Once the system was operational, Agile Elephant was commissioned to make an independent review of the collaboration service and help with planning the scale-up of the service. Initially, they interviewed 22 representatives from STPs, Vanguards and NHS England and carried out an online survey which was responded to by over 120 people.
In this infographic, we have summarised the key findings from Agile Elephant’s report. It includes:
- How Kahootz is saving NHS England time and money
- The benefits of using Kahootz, rather than another platform
- The predicted ROI
