Removing False Positives

Social Care Interoperability Benefit 1:

Removing False Positives.

A key challenge in the care sector is the stakeholders’ mesh of costs and benefits. As we are all judged by our own organisation’s responsibilities and objectives, we are not incentivised to invest money that may reduce the overall cost, if the benefits are accrued by other organisations.

E.g. If a local authority could invest in a care solution that reduces ambulance call-outs and has an excellent return on investment, would it make that investment?
