12 Contribution Setting Aim to ensure costs are smoothed over time demonstrate VfM. Reduce gaps between what is paid in and what is paid out. Fair, equitable and transparent. Pay as you go. Take into account: Claims history/experience known claims Risk profiling of activities (level of activity, number of people undertaking activities).
13 RAG Rating
14 Safety and Learning What are we doing? Stopping assessments from March 2014; Focusing on improving outcomes which for NHS LA means reducing claims thereby reducing harm. Why are we stopping assessments? Member feedback; Reduce bureaucracy and burden on front line staff; Avoid duplication with other organisations (CQC); Ensure we are proportionate and measure outcomes.
15 Safety and Learning How are we doing this? By supporting the NHS reduce their claims by : Information and analytics EXTRANET o Raising awareness claims information and how it could be used to learn the lessons from claims. Developing a safety and learning service o o o o o o Case studies; Seminars, Webinars, Blogs; Clinical engagement; Safety and learning library; Advisory Groups; Offers of support NCAS. Price incentivisation o Fewer less costly claims will reduce the cost of CNST contributions.
16 Risk Management Discounts Risk management standards the level the trust achieved at 31 st March 2013 will be used as a base line to transition away from risk management discounts; CNST Maternity standards the level the trust achieved at 31 st March 2014 will be used as a base line to transition away from CNST maternity discounts; Coinciding with us stopping mandatory assessments; Risk Management discounts will be paid in full in 2014/15; After 2014/15 will transition away over time avoiding any large swings in price.
