Why is performance management important?
Puts the patient at the centre of the homecare service Aims to deliver safe and effective patient care Ensures the same high quality standards at home as in
hospital Aims to engage the clinical multidisciplinary team,
procurement, and homecare providers for the benefit of the patient
Aims to demonstrate value for money Monitors compliance and contractual obligations Helps inform at future homecare contract adjudications

Contracting
Performance management starts with a well written tender document and service specification
A ‘specification checklist’ is one of the documents on the NHMC website
The specification must include clear information about how the homecare service is going to be performance managed and / or audited
