<p>The Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) programme is now embedded within NHS England
and NHS Improvement’s programmes to improve quality and productivity, ensuring best
practice is adopted throughout the National Health Service. GIRFT practices are incorporated
into the Pathway Redesign Programme and fast track surgical hubs, which are tackling
waiting lists in high volume, low acuity specialties such as orthopaedics by increasing
surgical productivity across the NHS.</p><p>GIRFT metrics are also used in the model
hospital system, which is a digital tool that provides an overview of a trust’s opportunities
to enhance productivity. This enables peers to benchmark directly against one another
and identify where improved practices can be adopted across the NHS.</p>
