Jeremy Hurst & Sally Williams: Improving hospital efficiency
- 2. Why does efficiency matter?
• The NHS needs to make unprecedented savings up to
2015 and beyond.
• As the Government tries to shift more care into the
community, the pressure facing hospitals will be even
greater.
• Improvements in hospital efficiency in England during
previous times of financial constraint have come from
treating more patients, as well as from saving money.

- 3. Key findings
• International comparisons suggest the UK still has some way to go to
catch up with the best health systems
• There is scope for the considerable variation in performance across
English hospitals to be reduced
• Commissioners should focus on how they can incentivise local
hospitals into adopting good practice.
• New technology holds the greatest potential for increasing
productivity
• Merging hospitals will not automatically lead to efficiency savings
• The report reaffirms the crucial role that good management plays in
achieving high productivity.
