2. Did you know that every year in England there are… 50,552 patients with pressure ulcers (category III&IV) like these 13,945 patient falls (with harm) 74,689 patients with catheters & infection

4. Complaints Audit data Adverse incident reporting Productive ward data Risk assessments Safety Cross Performance data People often say the NHS is data rich……. ……..they’re not joking!

5. – Reduce Identify what reporting requirements you have to meet and whether this covers what you want to collect – Reuse Think about the overlaps, what can be collected once and reused in another collection mechanism – Recycle All data is useful. Use what you have already collected in retrospective reporting

6. Complaints Patient derived, view from the patient perspective Qualitative data can be hard to interpret Audit Clear purpose and definition of data collection Difficult to re-use in wider context Adverse incidents Well established reporting process with standards Variation in reporting culture and standards Productive ward Lots of high quality detailWe don’t always record it centrally or consider it useful in the wider context Safety cross Immediate access, simple to use, quick We don’t always record to use after patient has left the ward Performance data Everyone reports it so we can use it for benchmarking Specific definitions may not fit with our requirements Case note review Incorporates details of the whole care episode, not just what happened on our ward Time intensive

7. – Consider triangulating different data sources to give a broader picture – If you’re going to undertake a new data collection start by carefully considering what you need to answer your question – Design a collection tool that minimises burden and maximises data quality (i.e. keep it simple!)
