2. Background Early draft measurement guidance
Support early data collection when formal linking of the whole patient journey not possible
Implementation of UCPN and Clinic Outcoming
Enable linkage of whole patient journey
Support data quality improvements
Consultation on measurement and updated guidance
Assessment leading to refinements and clarification

3. Safe space discussion How measurement guidance is applied locally
Local issues surrounding measurement
Suggested refinements to methodology
Sharing of best practice
Promotion of dataset for onward referrals

4. Outcomes 1
NHS Boards are applying the guidance, with some local variation and refinements applied
Clear, consistent approach and guidance to inclusions / exclusions required
Minimum dataset for onward referrals required

5. Outcomes 2 Performance measures are fit for purpose
Admitted completeness guidance is fit for purpose, but not consistently applied
Proposal to refine non-admitted completeness measure as UCPN and COC are implemented

6. Next steps
Refine and clarify measurement guidance and Principles and Definitions
Assess the impact of removing estimated unknown clock stops
Triangulation of the accuracy of proposed non-admitted completeness measure
Data quality assessment
