Data Development

Aim Commissioning data can be… difficult to find hard to access difficult to benchmark services due to different definitions and collections misinterpreted if not considered along with its data quality insufficiently frequent or timely sent to the wrong organisation for payment doesn’t always capture the right patient nationally defined How the Data Development team can work with providers and commissioners to enable legal data access and improve data quality and standardisation locally defined 8

How data quality impacts patient care and commissioning Data activities impacting quality of care and commissioning Poor data quality Data going to wrong commissioner for payment Recording the wrong patient on systems / CDS Inability to link data Sufficient legal basis to access data Direct Care Clinical care  Care co-ordination  Provide discharge summaries to GP  Commissioning and Supporting National Analysis Risk stratification  Contract management and payment  Identify savings  Service development  Monitor access, pathways and outcomes  Develop allocations & Policy  Benchmarking  A combination of issues with data are influencing ability to make commissioning decisions At a time when commissioning is changing to be more patient focused requiring greater precision to support more patient specific and tailored models of care 9

Data Development Delivery Areas To improve access, coverage and quality of health data for better patient care Working with the system, we are… This will enable… Commissioners can access data needed for commissioning Decreased burden from reduced local flows Increased benchmarking and analysis Improved data quality and awareness of data limitations Simplified, consistent topic based analysis Critical commissioning data directed to the correct commissioners 1.Defining the legal basis for commissioners’ access to data 2.Conforming local data flows, enhancing & gaining greater access to existing national data flows 3.Increased validation of patient identifiers 4.Designing data marts to support analysis 5.Implementing a consistent process for commissioner assignment 10

12 Conforming Local Flows Community Mental Health Urgent Care 111 and 999 conformed data set specifications – available for local use A&E+, specification available to incorporate data from A&E MIU, UCC, OOH: All align with future ECDS development Recommend adherence to new MHSDS national flow. HSCIC to enable commissioner access Recommend adoption of Local Community Dataset Specification – aligned to national CYPHS and local CIDS flows Work being fed into establish new national community dataset DATA SPECIFICATIONS AVAIABLE

13 Data Quality  Increased level of patient traces in providers  Secondary trace nationally  Flagging of patient identifiers to alert to their quality  Investigating creation of data confidence factors
