Evercare says pilots would do better with own staff.
The company behind the Evercare model of chronic-disease management has claimed that it could cut admission rates far more dramatically than NHS pilots have done so far if it hired its own nurses. The claim, from UnitedHealth Europe's Dr Richard Smith, comes in the wake of research which found that the 10 English pilots had cut admissions by less than 1 per cent.
