Our Case Studies
The VOT team has an excellent track record of success.
A top-3 out of area bed user, with a small bed base, this Trust asked us to provide insight and subject matter expertise to support its Home First Programme. Result: Acute pathway redesign that eliminated OOA overspill.
Despite heavy investment our client had 3.000 service users waiting for first contact; a tail of long-standing 'held' service users; & too many on-caseload crisis presenters. Result: A move to an 'easy in/easy out' model & near elimination of waits.
This leading mental health provider sought support to move to a care closer to home model. Result: closure of old Victorian wards with minimal out of area bed usage (zero in last 2years).
Paired with this mental health Trust's executive under the national Financial Improvement Programme. Result: elimination of a £9m deficit via a £20m (9%) efficiency drive.
Partnered two mental health providers collaborating to transform CYP services. Result: 40% admissions reduction; 31% LoS improvement; & 18% reduction in crises requiring CAMHS intervention.
A mental health Trust with long standing OOA bed overspill sought diagnostic and expert change support to redesign its Acute pathway. Result: Near zero OOA bed usage within 1 year, which sustained.
Support to new CEO to focus a complex organisation on an initial flow improvement 'main effort'. Result: quickly addressed fully an out of area bed overspill that was undermining quality and financial sustainability.
