Delivering high value care at KCH:  a workshop for new consultants

What is ‘high value care’?

High value care (also known as value-based healthcare) is a simple model that involves discovering the outcomes that matter most to our patients, the key clinical outcomes AND the resources required to deliver these outcomes.  It involves identifying and removing ‘low value care’, i.e. steps in the patient pathway that don’t contribute to the outcomes that matter most.

Why is this workshop aimed at new consultants?

We want to capture any ideas that you might have had when you first started at King’s – things that you might have seen work elsewhere, things that you have seen here that you think can be done better, new ideas and thoughts about how we can improve care for patients as well as using resources more effectively.  We want to use your ideas to inform Trust workstreams, and we want to find out how we can best support you personally to improve care at King’s. 

As part of this, we will introduce you to the high value care model which we believe can be helpful with the dual challenges of improving outcomes and improving the use of resources.

Aim

To obtain feedback and ideas from new consultants on how KCH could improve outcomes for patients and better use of resources, and to introduce the high value care model.

Key audience

Consultants who started at KCH within the past 3 years.

Format

2 hour interactive workshop, on Denmark Hill site.

Following a brief introduction to the simple concept of ‘high value care’, the workshop will largely consist of facilitated group work, providing a safe space to raise ideas and think about the actions we can all take to improve value.

The workshop will be opened by Trust Chief Medical Officer, Dr Mamta Shetty Vaidya.

Please note:  no refreshments will be available but you are welcome to bring your own.
