Enabling Strategic Commissioning
Personalisation offers many benefits but brings a challenge for strategic commissioning within a local authority. Commissioners must ensure that suitable services are available for all individuals with personal budgets and choice. World class commissioners will stimulate the market to fill the gaps, now and in the future. They must develop and communicate a deep understanding of their community's needs and individual preferences. They will rely on a strong evidence base to plan for the future.
"Commissioning is at the heart of effective social care"
Dame Denise Platt DBE, Chair CSIP
Dr Foster's Population Care Manager is designed to support such strategic planning by providing shared access to a clear picture of your diverse populations and their likely future needs.
Population Care Manager allows you to:
- Access the intelligence you need for strategic commissioning
