Commissioning for Outcomes

Understanding the concept . . .

• What’s it all about?

• Why now?

• Quantifying benefits, outcomes and added value

Dilemma!

The Third Sector and Social Enterprises create added social value when delivering services – we DELIVER MORE….

But HOW DO WE PROVE IT???

Some PCT Desired Outcomes

• Self reported feelings of improved well being• Improved mental health and well being• Improved long term prognosis• Reduced obesity/changes in diet

Commissioning

“Commissioning is the process of specifying, securing and monitoring services to meet peoples’ needs at a strategic level. This applies to all services, whether they are provided by the local authority, NHS, other public agencies or by the private or voluntary sectors.”

The NHS Outcomes Framework 2011/12 • Preventing people from dying prematurely• Enhancing quality of life for people with long-term

conditions• Helping people to recover from episodes of ill health

or following injury• Ensuring that people have a positive experience of

care• Treating and caring for people in a safe environment

and protecting them from avoidable harm

Outcomes

SROI is an outcomes-based measurement tool, as measuring outcomes is the only way you can be sure that changes for stakeholders are taking place.

Important not to confuse outputs with outcomes.

A framework to structure thinkingand understanding

and provide a way of representing value created

by an organisation, policy or activity

Its a story not a number

Your Story• Helps you explain what you do

more clearly• ‘We understand the value we’re

creating’• ‘Look how well we manage it’• ‘We can prove it - Strong and

clearly evidenced’

• Involve stakeholders

• Understand what changes

• Value the things that matter

• Only include what is material

• Do not overclaim

• Be transparent

• Verify the result
