System C releases BenefitsPLUS, a new benefits identification and delivery service.

System C has released a new service to provide help to NHS Trusts in identifying and delivering benefits from their new and current IT applications. System C’s new service is called BenefitsPLUS, it is available in several forms ranging from a low-cost fixed price benefits identification package until a complete end-to-end benefits management and delivery service.  BenefitsPLUS is directed to Trusts aiming to gain the most out of current IT systems, in addition to Trusts preparing business cases for new investment. BenefitsPLUS was developed based on extensive experience of healthcare IT deployment and process redesign of System C. It models the benefits that can be obtained from the use of IT in several settings and matches them against trust processes.  The result is localized benefits planning based on national experience.
Damian Pearce, a service delivery director at System C, mentioned that the company recognized the high pressure affecting the NHS to deliver new output targets at the same time as making significant efficiency gains. He said “Many organizations can unlock hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds through improved management of benefits. Technology and solutions are simply the enablers of improvement.  We can provide additional service improvement and delivery expertise, with substantial hands-on experience of other sites, to ensure that these benefits are successfully delivered. “ System C’s BenefitsPLUS model provides analysis for seven categories of benefits: time-saving, clinical, litigation risk, statutory, cash releasing, strategic and patient experience. It also quantifies ‘dis-benefits’ such as financial and management costs and demands on users’ time.
