Benefit 1: Enables one to receive care that is the best available and with clinical evidence
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence makes use of a variety of resources in physiotherapy management. The resources include patients and public involvement, cost-effective clinical and cost-effective evidence, and economic modeling. The resources are majorly used when coming up with evidence based on quality standards and clinical guidelines. Clinical guidelines enable one to come up with clinically based recommendations when making a diagnosis, treatment, and management of some specific conditions and standards that are from the expected level of quality and should be provided when it comes to specific circumstances (Littlejohns et al., 2019). Through the resources and guidelines, one can be in a position to receive health care that is of the best clinical evidence.
Another way the National Institute for health and care excellence ensures that it receives the best available care is by ensuring that National Health Service provides access to the best services and treatment. Ensuring that treatment and services are of the best is done through a technology appraisal program from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, which evaluates the cost and clinical effectiveness of new services and treatments (NICE, 2009). In situations where technology is seen to be of better quality and cost-effective, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence will recommend it to patients. Through the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommendation, one will be certain to receive the best treatment and services.
Finally, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ensures that one receives the best available clinical evidence by providing advice on new services and treatment. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ensures that national health services use evidence that is best available in informed decision-making. Achieving the evidence is done through the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence quality standard program that sets out quality care and is responsible for providing National Institute for Health and Care Excellence with the pathway for the specific program (Littlejohns et al., 2019). The pathway plays a major role in ensuring that National Health Service offers health care based on the best available evidence. Thus, through the pathway, The National Institute for Health and Care excellence ensures that the best treatment and clinical services can be provided to patients
Benefit 2: Ensures that health professionals effectively target sources and make efforts in areas that offer the most significant health improvement.
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ensures that health professionals offer effective target sources in various ways for health improvement. First, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has provided advice and guidance to healthcare professionals. The advice and guidance have been done through quality standards and clinical knowledge summaries, often updated to ensure a best practice. In addition, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has also developed guidance in medicines, including recommending the best treatment for specific conditions cost-effectively (NICE, 2009). Through advice and guidance, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has been in a position to offer target sources for health improvements.
Another way in which health improvement has been made is through ensuring that health professional target forces have a health improvement of a significant impact. The major ways of health improvement have been done through developing strategies to reduce health inequalities and improve healthcare quality. In addition, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has also ensured that health professionals have always used evidence-based approaches to health improvement (Littlejohns et al., 2019). Evidence-based approaches have been achieved through evidence updates, often published to inform health professionals about the best practices and the latest evidence. Thus through strategy development and evidence-based approaches of the professionals, health improvement has been achieved.
Finally, a way of achieving the target source for national health service is ensuring that health professionals target cost-effective health improvement sources. Achieving cost-effective sources has been done by conducting a cost-effective analysis which gives information on the cost-effectiveness of treatment and different health interventions (Littlejohns et al., 2019). Through cost-effective sources, it would help ensure that health care is always safe and effective. Thus, through cost effectiveness, health professionals can provide patients with the best quality care, leading to health improvement.
Benefit 3: Plays a major role in commissioning and service provision by reflecting on national priorities the National Health Service set.
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has played a major role in reflecting the national priorities that the National Health Service has set. First is by setting national standards for quality care in the National Health Service. Quality care includes evidence-based guidance, commissioning standards, and providing advice regarding medical devices, medicine, and other treatments (NICE, 2009). The guidance has played an important role in helping the national health services make decisions on the best treatments for patients and improving patients’ quality care. Through national care and quality, national healthcare priorities have been reflected.
Another way National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has reflected on priorities is by advising on the commissioning of services. The advice provided is important in ensuring that every patient receives the best health care possible. The health care includes services on mental health, primary care, end-of-life care as well as long-term conditions. In addition, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has advised redesigning, ensuring that all the health care services are cost-effective (Baltussen et al., 2019). Thus, through advice and ensuring that health care services are being provided in the best way possible, national priorities are reflected in national health care services.
Finally, it is by providing advice on improving public health. The advice includes addressing health inequalities, reducing health inequalities, and improving quality care for patients through long-term conditions (Baltussen et al., 2019). In addition, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has also guided tackling health emergencies and pandemics. Through guidance, national priorities can be reflected on and improved with time.
