About Value Management

Value Management aims to support teams to continually improve their services, by providing coaching and using quality improvement skills and data about quality and cost. It is a method to effectively manage the quality of the care that is delivered. The method includes 3 core components:

  • a box score: an Excel spreadsheet that includes measures across quality, safety, experience, capacity and cost
  • a visual management board: a communication tool used to share the information discussed at weekly huddles
  • weekly huddles: a communication tool to help proactively manage quality and safety within a multidisciplinary team.

See our Value Management resource pack for further information and resources to help you implement the approach.

 

Using a Value Management approach to improve services

A Value Management approach supports teams to:

  • improve quality and deliver better value 
  • adopt a whole team approach to improvement
  • reduce variation in practice
  • reduce cost per patient, and
  • manage multiple improvement or assurance programme that teams may be involved in.

 

While for people receiving care, it can help to:

  • improve the delivery of evidence-based care
  • support the improvement of outcomes, and
  • increase time for care delivery, as well as the number of people seen.
