Model Master
Strategic Modelling for PCTs and NHS Trusts
Model Master is a key tool for Foundation Trust application and ongoing financial/planning strategies It is now a key function of NHS boards to plan for the future and to have a clear understanding of how their Trust will change over 5, 10 or even 15 years. This is necessary as most healthcare services cannot be easily commissioned or decommissioned overnight. It can take 5 years or more if infrastructure changes are required. Even the reconfiguration of staff can take a considerable time.
By making informed assumptions it is possible to predict the future. In healthcare the assumptions are many and diverse. Model Master takes the numerous complex assumptions and applies them to a baseline model of Trust activities, usually supplied automatically by PSCAL's income management solution (SLAM). Using this information it creates models of how a Trust will change over the next 1 to 15 years. By amending assumptions the model can be developed to give a clear view of where you are going and what you need to do to get there. All the criteria affecting future activity and income are fully documented within the model, providing the series of targets which the Trust must achieve over the years in order to reach their predicted size and form.
Model Master is the ideal tool for:
-
Reporting the future activity, income and profitability of the Trust
-
Iterative modelling of variables towards a target configuration
-
"What-if" modelling to test new ideas
-
Preparation for Foundation status
-
Extrapolating SLAM models into future years
-
Demonstrating cause and effect
