18weeks RTT measurement and data quality

• Kate Harley
• Waiting Times Programme, ISD

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
