Gloucestershire CCG use Verto Project Management Sofware
Gloucestershire CCG Background
The CCG is a clinically led membership organisation responsible for commissioning local NHS services to meet the needs of local people. These services include emergency care services, operations or treatments that can be planned in advance, community services and mental health services.
The organisation is placing greater emphasis on prevention, self-care and joining up services, community support and information across health and social care. Alternatives to hospital care are also being developed, including more care, treatment and support at home and in the local community – all of which are delivered under increasing financial constraints.
To achieve this transformation, the CCG is engaged in a portfolio of programmes and projects, working closely with our Providers. The portfolio is overseen by a central PMO team; with a particular focus on the QIPP agenda (our Providers also operate PMOs).
The CCG expects that by using a standard programme management approach, underpinned by an effective PMS, we are more likely to successfully deliver change by ensuring:
- Sufficient board-level support
- Strong leadership
- Realistic expectations of our capacity and ability to deliver change
- Sufficient focus on benefits
- A robust vision of the future (blueprint), well defined and clearly communicated
- Improved capability to change culture
- Good engagement by stakeholders/Providers
Scope
The PMS addresses the management of programmes and projects. It provides the framework for organising and managing resource and investment to deliver all the work required within defined scope, time and cost constraints.
The CCG has established an approach to programme and project management based on industry standard methodologies and terminology (e.g. PRINCE2, MSP).
NHS Herefordshire CCG selects Verto
NHS Herefordshire Clinical Commissioning Group chose Verto to support work collaboration and project management. We asked them why they selected Verto...
“We wanted to find a way that allowed us to have better sight/improved assurance across our whole portfolio of work.
For us as a small NHS CCG we wanted to ensure we were deploying resources more smartly on key priorities, and in particular programmes intended to deliver QIPP savings. Additionally frustrations in organisation that we were spending a lot time reporting to NHS England, joint programme boards and internally and not enough time actually delivering - we wanted things recorded/captured once but used in numerous settings – COUNT principle. We also wanted to improve how individuals managed projects and ensured they undertook robust planning. And finally wanted to improve our: benefits/impact tracking; as well as ensuring remedial action plans in relation to key performance issue were managed and monitored. As a small CCG also we cannot afford a huge PMO function.
We looked at several products. VERTO provided the functionality and flexibility we wanted, and importantly allowed us to adapt it to local processes and governance arrangements.
We have focused on initially using it for those project initiatives that will deliver QIPP savings, but also being a cloud based system we will be using to monitor and manage for example our better care fund and other system wide programmes. VERTO have also worked with us to develop new functionality around benefits tracking that we are deploying, and intending to link with key BI systems.
In the set-up phrase VERTO guys supportive and professional. We have more work to do with colleagues around embedding the system and its use, but this is more of cultural issue that a system issue. So far has been a positive process; and we see huge advantages of how we can use this product going forward from business planning and risk management."
