This NHS Trust is embarking on the deployment of an Electronic Patients Record (EPR) Programme throughout the organisation.

This post holder will work with the CNIO, The EPR Team and clinical teams to achieve the ambitious aim of digitising the Trust across all Clinical areas. The post holder should be enthusiastic, motivated and have experience of managing digitally enabled change within the clinical environment. They should have and be able to share the vision of how digital systems can revolutionise patient safety and improve outcomes.

You will need to be able to lead a team to support the baselining and identification of benefits within the EPR

Identify and quantify

• Identification of benefits primarily through benefits discovery workshops, benefit dependency mapping and stakeholder insight
• Quantification of benefits - forecasting/estimating the scale of benefits anticipated

Value and appraise

• Informed options analysis - to compare the various options of achieving the desired outcomes and benefits
• Investment appraisal - to assess whether the benefits justify the costs required
• Portfolio prioritisation - to rank potential investments in priority order where resources are limited

Plan

• Validating the benefits forecast
• Prioritising benefits
• Managing pre-transition activity
• Selecting appropriate benefit metrics
• Managing risks and opportunities
• Planning effective stakeholder engagement

Realise

• Transition management - meaning pre go-live, go-live and post go-live transition
• Tracking and reporting benefits realisation and taking corrective action
• Winning hearts and minds

Review

• Assess and update the individual benefit profiles and the benefits realisation plan to ensure the planned benefits remain achievable and have not changed in scope or value
• Check the overall set of benefits included within the Benefits Dependency Map and benefits register remain aligned to the programme's objectives and to re prioritise or realign them as necessary
• Inform stakeholders and the programme board of progress in benefits realisation and help to identify any further potential for benefits
• Assess the performance of the changed clinical and/or business operations against their original baseline performance levels
• Assess the levels of benefits achieved against the benefits realisation plan
• Review the effectiveness of the way in which benefits management is being handled, so that lessons can be learned processes can be improved - if there are fundamental concerns about the effectiveness of benefits management then the benefits management strategy may also need to be revised
