Annual Report and Financial Accounts 2010/11
Foreword from the Chief Executive continuing to improve patient outcomes.
Considerable efforts have been made during the year to work with local health organisations to identify areas where working together can provide a better service for our patients but also reduce waste and duplication. This work will continue during 2011/12.
A review in to our corporate services has begun to look at how we can identify £4m quality-led efficiencies to reinvest back in to front line patient services. We know we have excellent support from our corporate services and we will be looking at opportunities to simplify, standardise and share. Sharing services with other NHS providers is critical to identifying the efficiency savings. There will also be a focus on purpose, service standards, key performance indicators and measurable outcomes.
We received an excellent response from the public during consultation on our Draft Annual Plan 2011/12. The plan set out a range of measures focusing on improving patient outcomes:
l Avoidable mortality and better end of life care.
l Long term conditions - self management, reducing admission and quality care.
l Acute hospital care. l The patient experience. l Patient safety.
The draft plan also included a range of issues, such as:
l Developing models of care, especially for emergency patients.

l Whether some smaller specialist services can be improved by working more closely with neighbouring hospitals.
Over the next 12 months we will review how our inpatient services are provided. Our plans, working in conjunction with other health providers in Dorset, are likely to see greater concentration of specialist inpatient services on fewer sites. Among the services under consideration for centralisation are inpatient haematology services, specialist cardiology, hyperacute stroke and aspects of pathology.
I would personally like to say thank you to everyone within the organisation who has worked so hard over the past year. Despite the challenges we ask of them and the difficult decisions we have to make, the commitment and dedication of staff to our patients is remarkable.
