Reasons why your NHS digital transformation team should conduct a Benefits Review

What is a Benefits Review?

A Benefits Review unpicks the advantages, value, and impact, of the implementation of a technology solution in a healthcare setting.

The review allows your team to make informed decisions to improve the adoption of the technology.

…so, why should you conduct one?

1. Creates a strategic focus

By conducting a thorough Benefits Review and engaging with senior stakeholders, you can gain a clear understanding of the drivers, objectives, and potential benefits of the technology.

2. Establish a clear definition 

Through Benefits Realisation Planning, the organisation can plan and define benefits clearly, establish criteria for success, and identify potential risks.

Developing a Benefits Plan ensures that benefits are effectively managed throughout the project lifecycle, enabling you to maximise stakeholder satisfaction and achieve project objectives.

3. Identify quality improvement 

Benefits realisation helps in identifying areas for quality improvement within healthcare delivery. By assessing the actual benefits achieved through the use of technology, healthcare providers can identify gaps, inefficiencies, or areas where the technology is underperforming, leading to targeted interventions for improvement.

4. Provides validation 

Engage with stakeholders to validate the benefits of the solution. Utilise workshops, interviews, and surveys to evaluate outcomes. This process provides evidence of the realised benefits and insights into areas for improvement.

5. Maximise the value

By implementing a structured benefits realisation framework, the organisation maximises the value and return on investment of its health technology.

Ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement ensure that projects deliver benefits that positively impact patient care and overall organisational performance.
