Public Sector

ScHARR can provice a range of approaches to assist service planning, development and evaluation of new initiatives.

We have successfully completed previous projects for:

• Department of Health
• Primary Care Trusts
• Strategic Health Authorities
• Acute Trusts
• Social Care
• Local Authorities

The changes in commissioning arrangements across the NHS over the next few years and the regionalisation of specialist services will produce significant challenges for the NHS. ScHARR can assist the new and emerging services using methods that include:

• Rapid evidence reviews of existing evidence
• Service reviews
• Computer modelling the potential impact of planning alternatives
• Primary research studies to evaluate service changes, new technologies and organisational changes
• Needs Assessment
• Cost-effectiveness studies
• Patient/user satisfaction and experience
• Development of clinical pathways and guidelines
