Opportunities for Improvement Sample Clauses

Opportunities for Improvement. The Caithness Redesign is one of three national pathfinder schemes to test how to implement local care and then roll it out, supported by the Scottish Futures Trust and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (Specialist Health Care Planners). A key aspect of the new approach is the Local Care Model. This is place based, focusing on population cohorts with high needs, and centred on addressing the priorities of the individual. A Multi-Disciplinary Team, supported by a Single Point of Access, will provide targeted community-based support to individuals with complex needs, and there is compelling evidence that this reduces hospital admissions and length of stay as well as other acute interventions such as Outpatient appointments and emergency attendances. This is a more sustainable and flexible model of health and social care achieved through true integration of services, making greater use of technology, and embracing the Place Principle. Advancements in technology are a key enabler to the delivery of the Local Care Model with improvements in eHealth systems, remote working, and an increase in virtual consultations through digital solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the need for more appointments and care reviews to take place remotely. Caithness was at the forefront of NHS Near Me technology well before this, reducing the need for patients to travel (often long distances) to attend appointments which can now take place in their own home. A Place Based Investment Strategy is underway in Caithness with hub North, NHS Highland, the University of the Highlands and Islands, Scottish Futures Trust, and other partners. This involves collaboration sitting at the heart of a better future, to improve services, create opportunities, and enhance quality of life for communities in a changing Caithness. This will take a whole systems view enabling more efficient public services through better use of resources, a faster pace of service transformation with more opportunities for community empowerment and leveraging investment opportunities to improve jobs in the area. In a post-COVID-19 world, collaboration ensures a more effective approach to economic recovery, more resilience to shocks, and more effective transition to a low carbon future.

Opportunities for Improvement. There are potential opportunities for improvements within the surgical pathways and these are outlined in section 3.5. It is however important to note the current accommodation, which is over 44 years old, is not conducive to a fundamental redesign, which limits further innovation in models of care. As the project progresses to Outline Business Case (OBC) stage we anticipate a number of the potential opportunities identified in section 3.5 will be realised and incorporated into a new integrated clinical strategy delivering further benefits and efficiencies for patients in NHS Tayside.

Opportunities for Improvement. Nalco has extensive experience with all types and sizes of RO systems. We have used the information from the Discovery Document and compared it to our established benchmarks of operation (“Best Practices”). We have identified the following opportunities for improvement in your system: Chemicals (Antiscalant, Bisulfite, Acid) [CalculatedValueC30] [CalculatedValueC37] to [CalculatedValueC38] [CalculatedValueC39] Cleaning Process (incl. Cleaners & Labor) [CalculatedValueC31] [CalculatedValueC40] to [CalculatedValueC41] [CalculatedValueC42] Labor (Data Recording / Maintenance) [CalculatedValueC32] [CalculatedValueC46] to [CalculatedValueC47] [CalculatedValueC48] Membranes (incl. Replacement Labor) [CalculatedValueC33] [CalculatedValueC43] to [CalculatedValueC44] [CalculatedValueC45] Feed Water [CalculatedValueC34] [CalculatedValueC49] to [CalculatedValueC50] [CalculatedValueC51] Waste Water [CalculatedValueC35] [CalculatedValueC52] to [CalculatedValueC53] [CalculatedValueC54] The potential savings shown above are the result of improving the operation of the RO system, and driving performance towards “Best in Class” benchmarks. This requires the collection of the pertinent operating data, advanced data analysis, continuous monitoring and interpretation by RO experts, good control of the chemistry, and proactive actions to catch small problems before they become major issues. The cost for implementing such a program is usually in the range of [CalculatedValueC58] with no capital outlay. A Site Survey will need to be performed by a certified Nalco Service Representative to help determine a complete scope of work.
