Healthcare

From the doctor’s clinic to the operating theatre and at every point throughout the patient pathway, we help healthcare clients to deliver more effective, efficient, and affordable care through change management and business transformation.

Healthcare change management is vital at a time when organisations are facing unprecedented challenges, resulting in leaders juggling multi-dimensional problems through the need to do more with less.

Our experienced team understands these issues first-hand and provides focused healthcare change management support to solve problems, drive transformational change and achieve the best possible outcomes for clients and patients.

We provide strategic guidance and business transformation support to healthcare organisations to help them redesign and improve processes, ensuring they are truly patient-centric. We achieve this by guiding teams through a significant and carefully balanced programme of system and organisational transformation, to sustainably resolve short and medium-term problems and create a solid foundation for future growth.

The health and social care sectors have faced operational challenges for several years, due to budgetary constraints and a demanding push for continual efficiency gains. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has further amplified these historic issues, resulting in significant caseloads and backlogs leading to workflow challenges and strain within teams.

The cessation of elective service provision at the height of the pandemic has meant that in many counties, more than 10% of the population are awaiting treatment. Care providers are having to tackle these backlogs, while working within budgets that were set three years earlier, without the realities of the pandemic in mind, resulting in increased spending and reduced governance.

Similarly, their workforces are often not large enough to cope with these challenges, leading to staff exhaustion and the need for yet more additional expenditure on overtime and shift payments.

At Linea, we have years of experience delivering change management support for the healthcare sector and appreciate the unique challenges they face. We believe every organisation has infinite potential, and we will provide the tailored guidance and firsthand support you need to deliver a sustainable model of care for the communities you serve.

HOW WE HELP

We understand how these difficult & complex challenges can be overcome. Which is why we work closely with organisations to deliver effective change management solutions which address the root causes of these problems. This includes:

  • Developing a coherent approach to backlog management by maximising existing utilisation, enhancing productivity & identifying additional ways to create new capacity by ‘sweating assets’, while developing innovative working processes, which transform culture.
  • Bringing spending cultures and unsustainable expenditure back under control through a careful balance of operational understanding and sound financial planning.
  • Helping healthcare organisations develop a more agile and flexible organisational culture, adept at quickly understanding and resolving complex problems through periods of unprecedented challenge.
  • Creating a plan for managing workforce capacity and expanding the resource pool to meet demand, taking into account the need to avoid overworking frontline staff and the longer-term impact of Brexit on the free movement of international labour.

We understand that the strength of the healthcare sector and the health of the nation are directly linked. Therefore, we are committed to helping these organisations to successfully transform their operations and overcome current challenges, in order to ensure a bright future of responsive, efficient, affordable and patient-centred care for all.
