Why Homecare

The NHS is facing increasing challenges to deliver high quality services that improve the patient experience, while at the same time provide greater value for taxpayers. This pressure to meet these challenges is even more acute during tough budgetary times.

As the NHS drives to improve the quality and value of its services, a homecare service that administers medicines, supports and counsels patients at home, and measures clinical outcomes can be an important element in helping the NHS reach its goals.

Lord Darzi's review of the NHS 'High Quality Care for All'*, published in 2008, emphasises the need to improve the patient experience by:

Improving the quality of NHS care (based on clinical outcomes)
Designing services around the needs of patients
Providing clinically-driven, locally-led services
Personalising care for people with long-term conditions
Empowering patients to have more control over their health through better information and knowledge
Delivering care closer to the patient's home

Medco Health Solutions [UK] understands the challenges the NHS is facing and is consulting widely with healthcare professionals, NHS managers, and patient representatives to design homecare services that:

Enhance the quality and value of NHS homecare services
Deliver better and more cost-effective care for patients
Harness innovation using the resources and expertise of NHS and non-NHS organisations
Help improve patient outcomes through appropriate and cost-effective use of medicines (including adherence and minimal waste)
