Design a practical operating method for health system integration that fits the organisation's size and maturity.
Planning Integration Between Different Health Systems
Turn health system integration from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Clinical staff will work around a process for health system integration that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Accreditation bodies assess the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda on documented evidence of consistent practice. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this strand of health and pharmaceutical services among the areas with the widest performance spread. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for health system integration. The course covers this part of health and pharmaceutical services at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the health and pharmaceutical services capability under scrutiny. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of health system integration rather than to abstract argument. The version of this area of health and pharmaceutical services described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of health and pharmaceutical services that would make a visible difference.

Course Modules
Health system integration: regulation, licensing and accreditation evidence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Designing health system integration so it helps rather than obstructs care
- Measure patient experience of health system integration and feed it back to the team.
- Check that consent processes within health system integration are genuinely informed.
- Confirm licensing and regulatory requirements applying to health system integration are met.
- Select quality indicators for health system integration that measure outcome rather than activity.
Session 2Building the method for health system integration step by step
- Confirm competence and continuing development for staff delivering health system integration.
- Cost health system integration per episode and identify avoidable waste.
- Audit health system integration by observing practice, not by reading policy.
- Rank the weaknesses in health system integration by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
Health system integration: cost, efficiency and sustainability of the service
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Testing health system integration before relying on it
- Confirm patient data handled within health system integration meets confidentiality obligations.
- Assemble the accreditation evidence pack for health system integration.
- Agree the smallest change to health system integration that would be visibly useful.

2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Consent, confidentiality and ethics in health system integration
- Establish the boundary of health system integration and record what sits outside it.
