Business case
With the very real possibility that the number of requests of authorisations is only going to increase, financial savings is high on everyone’s agenda.
Working closely with the collaborating organisations, it was agreed that on average, 4 people contribute towards the assessment process and each assessment takes around 8 hours to complete. Each deprivation of liberty consists of 2 assessments, costing £200 each.
Introducing CoLiberty to this process saves an estimated 2 hours per assessment. A conservative estimate of 25%. The model below shows an example business case based on 1,500 requests for authorisation per annum.
