Commissioning Plans.

Commissioning Intentions Plan; 

This builds on the Incentive Scheme Plan approach and is much more detailed.

This plan sets out a vision for the group for the short to medium term, a direction of travel using PBC and the levers you have at your disposal.

This plan starts to look at specific areas / specialties and what the consortium will be doing to alter demand, with a view to then commissioning full pathways.

Here we start to tap in to the premise of invest to save and pump primed money to effect change. The pump prime money is repaid from any FuR.

This level is where PCTs are required to take some risk in further developing PBC.

Commissioning Plans (pathway redesign)

This plan focuses on converting ideas into actions which lead to the development of either a redesign or a new pathway.

This plan builds upon the LES / LIS plan, and the Commissioning Intentions; the demand management we started with in the LES / LIS, and then developed further in our commissioning intentions, will now be the focus for a complete redesign.

At the end of this process the consortium, having consulted all stakeholders across the PCT, including patients, will deliver a specification to the PCT to be contracted on their behalf.

In this plan we convert ideas in to well presented, structured and evaluated proposals; this start with analysis of the data and the skill sets available to the consortium; is the redesign completely valid.

A business case (for clarity I use business case when talking commissioning and business plan when talking providing) is then developed.
