Effective corporate services are a crucial component in providing the efficiencies required to deliver a sustainable use of NHS resources.
Arden & GEM Corporate Service Reviews provide NHS organisations with the opportunity to better understand their current operation, benchmark against best practice and highlight potential opportunities for efficiency savings. We also support the delivery of your priorities via shared service reviews, for example, a “Business Enabling Collaborative” that empower local stakeholders to come together to identify services in scope, the strategic and operational priorities and identification of services that could be delivered at-scale for individual organisations or across an entire health system.
Our focus on administrative functions, financial management and other healthcare support services provides opportunities to improve your operation - while allowing your organisation to concentrate on the day job of delivering excellent services for the populations you serve.
Support is provided across a range of corporate services, this can be tailored to meet your individual local challenges or holistically review the whole remit of your corporate services. Key areas include:
- Finance: Financial accounting, costing, management accounting and internal audit
- Human Resources: Education, learning and development, temporary staffing, core HR, health and wellbeing and HR systems
- IT and Digital: Shared model data centres / hosting, paper medical records and clinical coding
- BI and Data: Data capture, data management, self-service analytics, analytics, skills and workforce development.
