7. Patients: provision of greater local information to patients which informs expectations and improves satisfaction increased openness of information improves confidence in local care, for example, MRSA rates etc. Clinicians: immediate, and timely information available to assist decision making reduced time and effort to access local, relevant information improved local peer engagement and cooperation, raising the local quality of care. Managers: increased staff awareness and engagement with local issues and improvement plans improved local awareness of data quality issues leading to improved data capture. What are the benefits so far?
