Personal Health Budget (PHB) Management
Our PHB Management System enables the NHS to streamline and digitise PHB processes, helping them increase the provision of PHBs and deliver on national PHB returns.
We are using Imosphere's solution for people of all ages who are eligible for Continuing Care or Continuing Healthcare services receiving care in a community setting. It has been critical to our significant expansion in provision of PHBs beyond just Direct Payments. It enables us to provide allocations that are equitable for individuals, consistent and financially sustainable for our organisation.
