News / HFMA seeks member views on work plans

It has asked members to complete a five-minute survey (details below) that contains a list of proposed work. The planned work is in addition to the regular policy and technical output, such as the introductory guides, e-learning modules, costing and value work and responses to consultations.

HFMA policy and technical director Paul Briddock (pictured) said he wanted to ensure that the chosen topics were relevant to members’ work and to discover if there were any key issues not being covered.

The policy and technical programme is designed to contribute to the association’s overall vision of ‘better quality healthcare through effective use of resources’.

It will also facilitate the delivery of its strategy to represent and support healthcare finance professionals; influence health policy; and promote best practice, education and continuing professional development.

Planned activities focus on a number of areas, including briefings on transformation and integration, efficiency, payment systems and financial management and reporting.

The draft programme added that the policy and technical team will work with branches to help them establish a research function if they wish to do so.
