22. NHS Lanarkshire – Our 27- 30 Month Review Data Journey Stacey Rooney

23. Background NHS Lanarkshire Clinical Quality Service, supporting both North and South Lanarkshire CPPs from a health perspective 27-30 month reviews commenced June 2013 in Lanarkshire – measurement data for stretch aim 2 But we don’t have baseline data……. ….so we need early access to our review data to develop a baseline……. ISD Proposed quarterly reports…….November 2013 before we see our first set of results

24. Accessing our data – lots of questions.... Where do the forms go? Does anyone in Lanarkshire have access to the CHSP system? Can we access the system? Technical challenges accessing the system....patience.......patience........we’re in!! We’re in but what do all these codes mean? Expertise to interrogate the data

25. How did we access CHSP Business Objects Universe (AKA – our data)? Contact the ATOS Helpdesk ITServiceDesk.NHSS- NS@Atos.netITServiceDesk.NHSS- NS@Atos.net Receive a form to complete via email, needs authorising by your Child Health Administrator Receive complex instructions from ATOS on how to set-up your PC/laptop – stick with it, you’re getting there!! Receive your Business Objects Universe login and password from your local Child Health Administrator

26. CHSP Business Objects

27. Benefits of accessing our data Earlier access to our data – some delays come from the time to return the forms for data entry and data entry itself (approx 4 weeks) Early identification of quality issues with form completion enabled us to feed this back and engage with staff We have early baseline data Stratify the data as we like (unit, locality, team) Results are helping us identify early tests of change

28. Early data focus Meaningful reviews (9 developmental milestones reviewed and recorded) Stretch aim 2 (meeting all developmental milestones) Future actions (request for assistance/referral) Looked After Status Breeches Health Plan Indicator (HPI) – status change Attendance / DNA – obtained locally

29. Coverage – A work in progress: Number of Eligible Children Number Invited for Review Number Attending for Review Number of Meaningful Reviews A national definition of ‘eligible children’ in a reporting period is still in development. Eligible = denominator/starting point Invited:coverage measure 1 Attended:coverage measure 2 Meaningful:coverage measure 3

30. Coverage: An early example

31. Examples of our early data (p) Provisional data - incomplete

35. Limitations of our early data We’re still developing a robust process to measure uptake - so results are only representative of those attending Non attenders are potentially our more vulnerable children and this may be skewing our results – particularly stretch aim 2 Non-meaningful reviews are being excluded, we need to reduce this (approx 25%)

36. Stage 2 data focus What other data is available from the review? –Age of child at review –SIMD quintiles –Ethnicity –Place of review (home, GP practice, clinic) –Exposure to smoke –Registered with a dentist –Bi/Multi-lingual

37. Reporting

38. Monthly reports Monthly summary and locality level reports are in development

39. Next steps Continue to work with colleagues to develop reporting that is meaningful and facilitates/guides improvement Continue to feedback real time issues with data completeness and quality Further work to link other reviews and develop data intelligence over time for each child e.g. HPI Further work to consider how best to share this data with partners out with health to benefit children and families

40. Thank you. I hope that didn’t leave you feeling like this...................or this.......

41. I hope it did make you feel like this..... Thank you to Scott Purdie, Clinical Quality Co-ordinator, NHS Lanarkshire for his work in this area. And My niece Emily, age 9 months for brightening up the data talk! Stacey.rooney@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk
