NHS and Healthcare Delivery Challenges

PM3 directly tackles the most common problems facing NHS and private healthcare teams:

Reliance on spreadsheets for transformation, CIP, and QIPP programmes.

Poor visibility of real-time delivery, risks, and benefits.

Inconsistent governance and lack of audit trails.

Complex reporting for NHS boards, regulators, and external stakeholders.

Managing NHS Cost Improvement Plans (CIPs) with Confidence

Cost Improvement Plans are central to NHS financial strategy, but too often they are managed in spreadsheets with limited visibility, inconsistent governance, and poor auditability. PM3 provides a dedicated CIP management capability designed for NHS Trusts, ICBs, and ICSs. With PM3, finance teams, PMOs, and executives can:

Set and track CIP savings targets at project, programme, and portfolio level.

Monitor delivery confidence in real time with automated RAG ratings.

Generate year-on-year savings reports aligned to NHS financial cycles.

Eliminate spreadsheet risks with a single version of the truth.

Provide board-ready CIP reports with full audit trails for regulators and auditors.

Track and report on CIP progress against key milestones to support timely decision-making.

PM3’s CIP dashboards give instant visibility of savings performance across Trusts, ICSs, or collaborative partnerships. Data can be rolled up from project to system level, providing executives with a clear, auditable view of progress against financial targets.

Result: CIPs are delivered transparently, confidently, and in alignment with NHS governance standards — reducing operational risk and strengthening board assurance.
