How we’ve helped
We produce deep dive business analysis bringing together local intelligence, JSNA and national data to help inform commissioning leads of the opportunities for financial saving across the healthcare system. With a focus on variation in primary care, our analysis promotes reduced expenditure through improved quality and has informed incentive schemes and commissioning intentions for our CCG customers.
Benefits have included:
• Improved case finding and completeness of disease registers
• Identification of outliers in primary care in the use of hospital outpatient and community services
• Review of prescribing practice in primary care. We produce comprehensive risk profiles of health populations and support CCG risk stratification schemes. Our geographic analysis by disease prevalence, age, gender and service uptake facilitates the design and targeting of CCG interventions. We work with commissioning and clinical leads to develop metrics for evaluation and impact analysis of healthcare interventions. We match our risk profiles to locally tailored Health Needs Assessments to give a holistic view of the health economy at CCG or small area level.
We have supported:
• Development of primary care risk stratification schemes
• Profiling of initiative impact for the Better Care Fund
• Equality analysis of service provision.
