Key reforms Power to commission services will be devolved to GPs working in consortia. National and regional specialised services will be the responsibility of the new NHS Commissioning Board, not GP consortia. GP consortia will have a duty to work in partnership with local authorities, for example in relation to linking up health and social care. The new NHS Commissioning Board will take over current CQC responsibility for assessing NHS commissioners and will hold GP consortia to account. Role of CQC will be strengthened as the quality inspectorate for health and social care. Monitor will become the economic regulator for health and social care from April 2012.

In order to insure each staff member was obtaining their individual and team goals, each member was given their own business (Souza). The tools in which the PFS were given provided them with the tools to prioritize and automate account work lists, sort accounts in various ways and see at a glance their ranking with their work group and office-wide. Managers were given their own dashboard and tools which able them to use query all aspects of receivables for trending purposes and identify problem areas, drill down to the patient account level, monitor revenue, payments, adjustments, receivables, and days for periods from the previous day and week to the previous 18 months, calculate average daily revenue by day and 30-day period, assess their performance for the month to date, and estimate likely results at the month end, view all receivables or select any segment for quick analysis, and generate timely reports on demand, including aging analysis, A/R stratification, discharged not final billed (DNFB) analysis, credit balance analysis, and analysis of problem payers.

Healthcare funding approaches differ from country to country with regular debate over health reform and healthcare for the future. As additional funding is not always a feasible option, health resource allocation and health finance need to be well managed to achieve efficient outputs. Health resource allocation is the allocation and management of healthcare resources or healthcare rationing (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2014). Health finance refers to ‘function of a health system concerned with the mobilization, accumulation and allocation of money to cover the health needs of people in the health system’ (Health Systems Financing, 2008).

I am currently working within a joint health and social care team to support service user with hospital discharge and this team consist of occupational therapist, physiotherapist, dietician, speech and language therapist, doctor and consultants. I am aware that the Health and Social Care Act 2012 promotes joint working between health and social care and these principles have been further embedded in the new Care Act 2014. Cameron et al (2012) argue the Government intention is to enable joint working between the NHS and local authorities in order to make it easier for commissioners and providers to adopt partnership arrangements to provide joint local services. The authors argue that joint working ethos have been further embedded in current policies due to the rising demand for services from an ageing population joined with the need to reduce public spending. Moreover, the integration of health and social care services offers further resources to support service users with complex needs to live independently in the community (Cameron et al 2012:3).

Ensuring that the software is compatible with the systems that are in place today is also a critical step to making the transition smoother. The high score in the architecture compatibility area shows that this provider took that into consideration as well.

Human resource management’s (HRM) role is changing in business. In the past, HR was a nothing but an administrative support function, now it is a key player in a business’s strategic planning. Today HR must have the ability to manage employees in way that contributes directly to a organization’s strategic goals. This sudden paradigm shift in purpose now feeds HR manager’s need for integrated systems that also include business intelligence. As companies look for more responsive and effective systems, outdated HR systems fall to the wayside as new modern and agile systems evolve.
