A new venture from Capita plc will harness the healthcare expertise of three leading Capita businesses – its existing health advisory practice, its health insight business, and its health infrastructure practice.
Capita Heath Partners ‘will work with NHS organisations to help deliver transformation’, offering ‘a delivery-focused approach to the key challenges of health and social care integration, efficiency, and cost-saving targets, the use of information, and effective management of resources’.
Richard Darch, executive director, Capita Health Partners (pictured) said: “Capita’s work with Sussex Community NHS Trust demonstrates how long-term, strategic partnerships can bring together the expertise and knowledge of two organisations to produce a different way of working that opens up new opportunities and ensures financial sustainability.”
In December 2013, The Trust entered a five-year ‘strategic relationship’ with Capita ‘set up to identify efficiencies and better ways of working, and accelerate the pace with which improvements can be achieved.’
Capita says ‘an emerging focus’ will be ‘on understanding the impact of advances in medical technology on the built environment’, and ‘how technology, process change, and facility planning, go hand-inhand to create a better patient experience’.
