Pan-Birmingham Cancer Network NCAT Commissioning Exemplar Breast Cancer Surgery 4 th November 2010

Approach Initial scoping was cross-referenced to established guidelines (NICE, NSSG, Map of Medicine) Taken the PbR datasets that are already readily available to NHS Commissioners Analysed and tested outputs with clinicians in the know Refined the data and information and retested with clinicians – Key Issues emerged Production of a Commissioner’s Guidance Note Aim is to inform the discussions between commissioners and hospital providers

Project Phases Phase 1 - Project Scoping (Established guidelines and listening to clinicians) Phase 2 – Data Crunch 1 & Clinical Networking to Identify the Issues Phase 3 – Data Crunch 2 & Addressing the Issues Phase 4 – Expanding the Scope – The Wider Clinical Pathway Phase 5 – Bringing it all Together

ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes C50 – Breast Neoplasms D05 – Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) 2008/09 Dataset Apr 08Apr /10 Dataset Apr 10 Dec 09 9 mths Mastectomy / BCS casesFurther Ops in next12 mths The PbR Data-Set 849 ~ £2m214 ~ £430k An extended dataset for the 21-month period April 2008 to December 2009 was used to identify 849 patients who had either a mastectomy or breast conserving surgery in the 9-month period April to December It was then possible to undertake a detailed analysis of the 214 follow-up operations needed by the cohort during the course of the following year.
