Seraphim J. Rose Patel is Clinical Quality Standards Manager at the
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. He is a member of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence external Reference Group assisting with the development of audit tools.
The judging panel for the prestigious HSJ Efficiency Awards 2012 has nominated Seraphim’s 'A Whole Person, Whole System Approach to Integration: Reducing Costs While Improving Individual and System Outcomes' project in the Commissioning Support Services category of this year’s awards.
The project, in collaboration with a colleague from social care, looks at the urgent need to develop measures of whole system working. It describes the development of a simple and practical set of measures for benchmarking and analysing local use of whole system resources as the basis for discussion and planning. Usable tools are needed as national measures are not yet available.
The project met all the critical criteria in being shortlisted for this award by the judges, from a huge number of entries.
