How we’ve helped
A cross-organisation team from NECS produced a comprehensive quality and performance report to help commissioners gain a wide-ranging insight into a local acute provider. The results have supported South Tees CCG in developing Key Lines of Enquiry for improvement opportunities. Experts from our Provider Management, Clinical Quality and Business Intelligence teams worked together to collate data from a wide range of sources, covering areas including mortality, patient experience, safety, workforce, operational and clinical effectiveness and governance. This was analysed and benchmarked, where possible, across a comparative peer group. The Quality Information Report for South Tees CCG highlighted performance across a range of quality and performance indicators and identified areas of good practice and areas for development. This is informing future work and priorities.
Customer testimonial
“NECS produced a comprehensive benchmarking report detailing the performance position against a range of quality markers and standards. This report has been pivotal in formulating the CCG’s key lines of enquiry for the progression of improvement opportunities with the local Foundation Trust. The report was produced within a tight timescale and to a high professional standard.”
