Methods Multiple routine administrative data 2012/13 and 2013/14 financial years ‘Best fit’ data sources Patient level - aggregate - cost book Service contacts Flows within & between services Regional and locality estimates

Challenges Nailing down the numbers Significant data gaps  GP data  Care in the community  Social care Referral sources and outcomes Data linkage Timeliness

Further Work Integration datasets  care at home  care homes  third and independent sector Mapping pathways  End of life care  Complex discharges Integrated Resource Framework ‘Qlikview’
