Value for Money
Nua Healthcare Services, delivering high-quality care and support services since 2004.
​
Nua has a long-standing tradition of delivering high-quality, person-centred care. Our services are shaped by regulations, standards and international best practices, all of which are embodied in our Mission, Vision and Values.
Every team member strives not only to do a great job but also to contribute to the continuous improvement of our services so that, together, we may better support and facilitate the changing needs of every adult and child availing of our services throughout their individual Care Pathway journey.
Nua believes in the principle of Value for Money and that this is best achieved by maintaining the integrity and continuity of supports across the Care Pathway and, in doing so, minimising the Whole Life Cost (WLC) associated with an evolving assessment of need.
So, what does 'Value for Money' mean?
'Value for Money' in the healthcare sector is often measured through a combination of quality, safety and cost. Nua is cognisant of 'Value for Money' principles and focuses its efforts on the following:
-
Doing the Right Thing: Spending money to achieve positive outcomes.
-
Doing it Right: Investing in the therapeutic environment as efficiently as possible while minimising waste.
So, what does 'Whole Life Cost' (WLC) mean?
WLC refers to all costs associated with a service, from its initial design and implementation through to its eventual cessation.
​
Nua believes in maintaining continuity of care for each individual throughout their life, ensuring that each person receives the right care and supports, at the right time and for as long as they need them.
​
The success of this approach is predicated on consistency, minimising episodes of ill health and avoiding unnecessary acute medical interventions. The aim is to achieve better outcomes while supporting individuals to progress sustainably towards greater independence.
​
Nua's approach to WLC can be understood through three distinct stages.
