The healthcare industry is dynamic. Payment by Results and Financial Flows are reforming the NHS, giving providers the opportunity to gain more control over their financial performance. To respond to the changing landscape, Trusts will need to renew their focus on managing costs, operational efficiency and information. Successful providers will require transparent access to their core data in order to measure performance with confidence and ensure financial viability.
