Advanced Health & Care offers a fully integrated collaborative budget planning, monitoring and forecasting solution to meet the objectives set out in the unprecedented joint statement in February 2009, by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, Royal College of Nursing, NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, HFMA and the DH, ‘Clinicians plus Finance add up to better Care’.
The statement explains that with the financial downturn there has never been a better time or greater need for doctors and nurses to be engaged with the numbers. Collaborative Planning enables finance to work collaboratively with clinicians and provide a finance ‘workbench’ to help agree activity based budgets, monitor in year financial performance, review service line reports and input forecast outturns.
