(2) Improve access and patient flows between our hospitals, to reduce waiting times and improve access to services closer to patients’ homes
(3) Achieve clinical sustainability by better networking of specialist staff and developing joint approaches to address workforce challenges
(4) Improve the value we get from our collective resources, by standardising and jointly procuring equipment and streamlining our operational models .
The development of a shared approach to quality improvement will be a key enabler for transformation and recovery. This includes the development of a shared approach to measure improvements and the development of the relevant capacity across the SWL system.
