Scenario Generator Success Stories

£100,000 savings for PCTs every year
East Riding PCT used Scenario Generator to model the introduction of the BNP blood test to diagnose heart failure (NICE guideline) and predicted savings and better outcomes. Subsequent implementation validated the model.

The Lancashire and Cumbria Cardiac Network and the Pathology Commissioning Network, also used Scenario Generator to generalise this prediction to save more than £100,000 per PCT per year in their areas. Across the country, this models change would save over £15M per annum and improve outcomes.
