Strategic Asset Management and Integrated Service Provision within the Healthcare Sector

The delivery of health and social care in the UK is undergoing profound change and being redesigned to provide high quality services, better capacity and performance. This is taking place in a context of increased local autonomy in the provision of services and the introduction of national, evidence-based standards and inspection. There has been considerable activity surrounding the strategic asset management of healthcare services and facilities, especially with moves towards world class commissioning.

This project focuses on improving strategic asset management in healthcare, as the NHS strives to meet the changing needs of the population and deliver a world-class service which is clinically-driven, patient-centred and responsive to local needs. The research analyses the implications on Primary Care Trusts of implementing integrated service provision and world-class commissioning.
