Four case studies to explore the added value of Oxford AHSN

"The Oxford Academic Health Science Network (Oxford AHSN) wishes to demonstrate the value of the various projects and programmes that the network has developed and implemented since it was established in 2013. In order to do this, OHE Consulting and RAND Europe conducted analyses of four case study projects:

1. Anxiety & Depression Clinical Network: A targeted 5% improvement in recovery rates
2. Maternity Clinical Network: Improving referral pathways for preterm babies
3. Energy project: Quantifying the value of energy savings and carbon reduction
4. Intermittent Pneumatic Compression: Increasing utilisation of IPCs in immobile stroke patients"
