      It would be great if we
       could just book all the
             childrens                                          Not so sure
       appointments into the                                     about that
      system as soon as they
            are born !




    Well at least we
    would know what
     resources we                                                  What a

Estimating Resource Requirements Based Upon Clinical Protocols
Estimating Resource Requirements Based Upon Clinical Protocols
What we can do

Share our protocols more easily with other cleft units
Map the effect of a protocol change on existing patients / workload in
terms of resource allocation
Estimate the cost/benefit of changing aspects of our protocol
Can map these resources 18 years into the future
Determine the current load on the cleft system, predict expected future loads as new
patients enter the service
Better plan for raw data collection as part of research projects
Better inform the Executive of the actual utilisation of new equipment
Prioritise interventions for patients
          - Better inform patients and Executive of vulnerable areas of the service, and the
            effects of changes (for better or worse) in funding
Estimating Resource Requirements Based Upon Clinical Protocols
Limitations / Problems

Underestimate cost of care by generating data on cleft diagnosis
Bypassing the need for individualised plans for patient care

Conclusions

Estimating future resource requirements is not difficult
Fascinating, novel way of looking at resources
Accuracy of projected data will be improved with individualised treatment
information
This computer programme is primarily for use in resource allocation projects -
NOT as the primary source of care plan documentation
Hope that this initiative will improve our access to resources and funding
enhancements for cleft services.
Provide the most effective and efficient cleft palate service to patients entrusted to
our care.
Estimating Resource Requirements Based Upon Clinical Protocols
The Future

Modifying the software for use by chronic care teams
outside the cleft palate field
In 2013, we will be adding Craniofacial Clinic protocols to system, and sharing
software with other cleft units
