Tools & Resources
Casebooks
Sharing Commissioning Experiences – One of the ways that Right Care will enable sharing of good practice is through compiling local examples of commissioning work which demonstrates the philosophy behind Right Care or showcases the tools available through the programme. We will publish these though a series of “Casebooks”.
Essential Reading
“Essential Reading” is a series of reading lists on specific themes relevant to our Right Care programme themes. We hope they provide you with a rapid introduction to the subject and access to knowledge which will change your thinking. The first two reading lists are on the “Accountable Care Organisation” and “Unwarranted Variation in Healthcare”. Read more…
Health Investment Packs
| Right Care has produced a bespoke ‘Heath Investment Pack’ (HIP) for each PCT in England. The HIPs use the outputs from analysis tools already available to PCTs to analyse variation in spend, outcomes and activity growth for one particular programme budget category for that PCT. Read more… |
Healthcare Public Health Colloquia
The QIPP Right Care Workstream has a focus on: Population Planning and Programme Budgeting; reducing unwarranted variation and; Population medicine – the clinician focussed on all the patients, not just those referred. The Right Care public Health Colloquia are about designing a healthcare public health service able to support commissioners in acheiving these objectives.
International Atlases
Here we have listed some International Atlases highlighting variation in healthcare.

Phase 1 Elective Surgery Project
The aim of this report has been to make recommendations for consideration by the NHS Operations Board with regard to effective commissioning of elective surgical procedures. The work was commissioned by Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS Medical Director, following widespread expressions of concern from professional bodies that approaches based on lists of procedures deemed to be of ‘limited effectiveness’, ‘low-value’ or requiring a ‘threshold’ result in inequitable patterns of service delivery. The evidence base for such approaches are not thought to be sufficiently robust, and in many cases procedures with well-established evidence of effectiveness, such as cataracts or arthroplasty, have been included.

Population Value Reviews
Annual Population Value Reviews (APVR) – to help commissioners reflect on their priorities and maximize value for patients, populations and commissioners from health investment by improving the allocation of resources to maximise outcomes – so-called “allocative efficiency”. Read more…
Procedures Explorer Tool
Right Care is developing a Procedures Explorer Tool, populated with national SUS data, which can be used:
- By commissioners to understand how commissioning actions can influence variation in spend and outcomes at a granular level;
- By providers to understand how their behaviour can influence outcomes, which may be different from those of other providers across the country Read more…
