Great Ormond Street Leads the Way in NHS Performance Management with Prodacapo Balanced Scorecard solution
Bellis-Jones Hill Group, the UK distributor of Prodacapo today announced that Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, a world-leading provider of paediatric services, has selected the Prodacapo solution for Balanced Scorecard to help in the continuing development of its performance assessment framework. The Trust will work alongside Bellis-Jones Hill Group to use the Scorecard solution to drive forward their organisational performance.
The Prodacapo Balanced Scorecard solution will provide the Great Ormond Street Trust with a single platform to support all their performance programmes, including implementation of the latest Government initiatives. Introducing the new technology will allow the Trust to manage and report on the different aspects of its performance in a much more effective manner.
“We have had a Performance Assessment Framework for some time now,” said Sven Bunn, Assistant Director of Planning and Performance Management. “But our organisation has an extremely diverse set of needs when it comes to managing performance. From issues such as staff retention and development through to research services and provision of information to our patients, which can make things quite complex so we decided that the framework would function more effectively in a dedicated performance management software tool. Using this technology will help us to improve quality of delivery to both patients and our own staff”.
The Prodacapo solution for Balanced Scorecard will provide the Great Ormond Street Trust with unparalled capabilities in understanding current performance, improved decision making, and ultimately, better management of the Trust's overall performance.
Prodacapo was chosen after a rigorous selection process involving all major Balanced Scorecard software vendors. “We are determined to ensure our organisation is at the forefront of our industry and we chose Bellis-Jones Hill Group because we felt that they were best able to support us in achieving that goal,” says Sven Bunn.
Great Ormond Street Trust is one of a number of leading NHS trusts implementing Balanced Scorecard programmes. “Performance Management within the NHS is a critical issue”, says Peter Hill, Director of Operations for Bellis-Jones Hill Group. “Government, new focus groups and patients are all demanding information on how Trusts are managing themselves and their resources and if Trusts cannot comply with these demands in an effective manner then they will begin to experience huge difficulties. Great Ormond Street had developed a Performance framework themselves, we are now helping them progress that so that it becomes a key strategic tool for their future development. The selection of Prodacapo by the Great Ormond Street Trust illustrates our ability to deliver to customers in this sector of the market”.
