Financial modelling within the NHS: Unlocking the power of change

Financial modelling within the NHS is a formidable task, but one that holds the key to transformation. With varying capabilities, resource capacities, and levels of digital maturity among different NHS Trusts, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Financial modelling plays a pivotal role in helping Trusts evaluate and understand the potential fiscal impact of decisions, such as investments in electronic document management systems (EDMS). 

Here, we explore the challenges and opportunities associated with financial modelling in the NHS and introduce a valuable resource for anyone interested in “Building an economic case for an NHS EDMS” – our free guide which is available to download now. 

For many healthcare leaders in the NHS, the appeal of a robust return on investment (ROI) from an EDMS deployment is undeniable. However, creating a comprehensive economic case for such an endeavour can be a tough process. This challenge requires meticulous data collection from various stakeholders, vendors, partners, and consultants across a Trust. The sheer resource commitment required for this process can be overwhelming, especially when competing priorities loom large.

Some NHS leaders, while comfortable with financial modelling, face a different obstacle—the absence of standardised building blocks for an EDMS-specific economic case. Implementing technology solutions like EDMS may be new territory for them, and navigating the complex landscape of advice, jargon, and acronyms can make the task seem daunting. It is essential to simplify and clarify the digital content management technologies that will truly drive change within the NHS.

Then there are Trusts that have yet to embark on their financial modelling journey or are unsure of where to begin. They may not fully grasp the potential cash-releasing benefits that EDMS deployment can bring, leaving them hesitant to invest in this transformative technology.

In a nutshell, creating an economic case for an EDMS in the NHS can be challenging, but it is not impossible. The good news is that with shared knowledge and experiences, we can break down these barriers and drive change. As the enormous potential benefits of an EDMS investment become clearer, the effort required to build the economic case becomes more than justified—it becomes essential.
