Clinical Service Modelling

With our Clinical Service Model methodology, we help you lay the foundation for planning a new or revised service or facility plan by creating a scenario-based overview of the clinical services to be delivered by your healthcare facility.

Together with you, we will elaborate service scenarios that help you decide which aspects of the health continuum are most relevant for your plan and in what timeframe. Using fit-for-purpose modelling tools, we will validate the data underpinning the selected scenarios and, where necessary conduct additional data analysis to help you understand the potential of your preferred scenarios. Our consultants bring expertise into your deliberations and present challenges you may encounter in achieving your care pathways according to your selected service model. 

Using our innovative Design Thinking methodology CoCreate, we facilitate interactive workshops with you and your stakeholders to create scenarios that balance your vision for clinical services, the reality of the market, and strategies for growth.

• Analysis: population characteristics and profiling of future patients to determine procedures in scope and forecast demand
• Clinical service planning: integrating planned scenarios with anticipated patient volumes to drive requirements for service, facility and resource capacity
• Clinical careflows: visualising a set of key pathways using experience flow mapping to outline the anticipated patient journey and ensure smooth transitions from end-to-end.
• Recommendations:  Based on the data analysis, stakeholder inputs, clinical service scenarios and anticipated patient journeys we recommend a right-fit service model for your facility that grows with you.

Depending on your needs and available data, service modelling may be driven by anticipated demand, patient acuity or capacity. The tools further allow for optimisation in growth and efficiency to generate a living model.
