Fife Health and Social Care Partnership continues to modernise and transform health and social care services, to ensure that services are safe, effective and person-centred.
As part of this transformation, the partnership recently reviewed the Minor Injuries Care Service in North East Fife.
A clinically led Options Appraisal process was carried out for the Minor Injuries Care Units at Adamson Hospital in Cupar and St Andrews Community Hospital, which looked at ways to optimise patient care and ensure the sustainability of the service for the future. The options were scored utilising the Guiding Principles in Health and Care Service Design and Delivery (Ritchie, 2015) criteria.
What is a clinically led Options Appraisal?A clinically led options appraisal is guided by medical research, expert opinion, and best practice guidelines to ensure decisions are made in the best interests of patient care. It is a structured evaluation used in healthcare to assess different treatment or service options based on clinical evidence and patient outcomes. It focuses on factors such as effectiveness, safety, quality of care, and the potential impact on patient health.
What does reconfiguration mean?Reconfiguration means reviewing and reshaping how services are delivered to improve and optimise patient care, ensure clinical needs are met, and make best use of available staff and financial resources. In this case, they are considering how Minor Injuries Care Service in Adamson Hospital in Cupar and St Andrews Community Hospital should be structured going forward.
