Develop Consulting – Transforming Efficiency in General Practice through the Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool

Develop Consulting is committed to driving innovation in healthcare and our team of experts have created an innovative subsidiary company dedicated to revolutionising demand and capacity management in primary care.

The Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool represents our dedication to creating practical, data-driven solutions for the challenges facing general practice today.

It was created by our expert healthcare teams to help General Practices to understand actual demand, rather than just the data stored in the clinical system.

The Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool Solution

The Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool provides unprecedented insights into practice operations. By visualising data that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the healthcare system, this innovative tool empowers GP practices to:

  • Identify specific opportunities to improve
  • Guide actions to implement improvements
  • Aligns demand and capacity with QOF indicators
  • Streamline operations
  • Improve patient experience
  • Refine access and planning
  • Enhance staff well-being
  • Reduce patient wait times

Developed by Healthcare Experts

The Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool is the result of hundreds of hours of front-line practice experience. Our team of healthcare professionals truly understands the intricacies and challenges of general practice, allowing us to deliver solutions that make a real difference.

How The Tool Works

The Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool collects and analyses practice data over a week period, which then provides a bespoke report outlining the size, nature and location of your practice’s opportunities.

These insights allow practices to identify and address inefficiencies such as:

  • Delayed referrals
  • Poor inter-provider communication
  • Inefficient appointment booking systems
  • Unclear patient communication

Benefits of the Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool

By implementing the Demand and Capacity Optimisation Tool, practices can:

Reduce unnecessary patient interactions

Increase practice process efficiency

Improve resource allocation

Reduce patient wait times

Enhance overall quality of care

Understanding Failure Demand

The Tool is a cutting-edge solution designed to address one of the most pressing issues in general practice today – failure demand.

Extensive research conducted by our team has revealed that up to 20% of all patient interactions in GP practices are unnecessary, stemming from systemic inefficiencies.

This ‘failure demand’ equates to approximately 2,000 avoidable consultations per practice annually, or 13 million appointments across England each year.
