Governance
The Cost Improvement Programme Governance Framework has now been ratified by
The Transformation Board (October 2012). A specific change to the framework is the
inclusion of the Executive Workstream Sponsor who will provide executive level
oversight, support and direction to the individual CIP workstream, ensuring an
appropriate escalation route for risks and non delivery of schemes.
Weekly Workstream Accountability meetings are held to ensure the ongoing delivery and
progress of existing directorate schemes. Identified Executive SROs are identified below.
Quality Assurance
A Clinical Quality assurance panel has been set up and has reviewed the process and
documentation to assess and monitor the risks associated with each work stream within
the Cost Improvement Programme. The group is chaired by Dr Maureen Dalziel the Non
Executive Director and supported by a number of executive and clinical staff.
The framework includes impact assessments on clinical outcomes, safety and patient
experience in addition to parameters measured by the Quality and Safety board. The
Quality Assurance panel meets monthly and will provide assurance to both the
Transformation and Quality and Safety Boards. Focused work using this framework is
now taking place to carry out quality impact assessments on any schemes previously
assessed as high or moderate risk.
