Commissioning Polyclinics Six Key Questions

• What services should be commissioned in
  Polyclinics
• What levels of activity should be commissioned in
  polyclinics and should these activities be
  defined and measured?
• What is a realistic price to pay for this
  activity at a polyclinic?
• What is the overall cost of our commissioning
  plans based on our population needs and
  population characteristics and is this
  affordable?
• What is the overall financial impact of
  introducing polyclinics?
• Does the proposed polyclinic price represent
  value for money compared with the costs of
  existing provision ?

Through this work we identified 12 service-lines

The service lines can be split into sub-service
lines
6
and further into packages of care

The two models are combined to calculate the
affordability of moving services to a polyclinic

• Commissioning model

• Activity

• Financial model

• Price

• Compare to
• current cost in other settings
• projected cost savings in acute care
