a
HSJ Awards Best Practice Report 2010
Delivering best practice
The NHS remains an inspiration for health systems across the world. In the toughest year for the NHS for over a decade, the HSJ Awards prove once again that the service remains a centre of excellence. Quality, innovation and productivity are not just government buzzwords, they are enshrined in the work recognised by the awards.
However, we appreciate that times are getting tougher and that — along with the rest of you — the HSJ Awards must work even harder to spread best practice.
As a result, we have produced detailed examinations of the entries from both winners and shortlisted organisations.
Each of these “best practice reports” explore what our finalists set out to achieve and the methods they choose to deliver those benefits.
Reflecting the shift from targets to outcome measures, the reports show what worked, what did not and the unexpected pros and cons which accompany most interventions affecting anything as complex as a nationalised healthcare system.
The exclusive downloadable reports also set out how our finalists are developing their ideas and the applicability of the projects to other services and organisations. Crucially, in an era of efficiency, the reports set out any savings achieved by the projects.
We hope these best practice reports prove a practical guide to delivering similar initiatives across the health service. We equally hope that they will provide enough inspiration to help other teams and individuals to become HSJ Awards finalist themselves.
