A method for turning scheduling, referral, staffing, and encounter data into one governed assumption register that an access redesign business case can safely be built on.
What the pack covers
The asset defines the assumption register format for an ambulatory access and referral capacity decision, sets rules for ranges, confidence grades and provenance, lays out the research methods for closing registered evidence gaps, runs the assumptions through a structured challenge that separates what was observed from what is believed, and freezes the register as the single input set for the options appraisal.
- Scope: the assumption set behind an ambulatory access and referral redesign business case
- Demand, capacity, cost, and benefit assumptions stated as ranges with confidence grades
- Provenance rules that make every number in the case auditable to a source and date
- Research methods for closing the evidence gaps the baseline diagnostic registered
- A structured challenge session that separates observations from hypotheses
- A freeze protocol that hands one agreed assumption set to the options appraisal
- Working tools for the register, the source log, and the research question list
