CCGs working with practices on diabetes programmes can now request access to view comparative reports in CHART Online - a timely resource to help implement STPs
CHART Online CCG comparative reports for the Diabetes Care quality improvement tool are now available on application. These reports allow CCGs to compare outcomes across all their pratices (that have contributed data) and against CCG and national averages.
This new comparative availability for CCGs is timely as localities begin to implement their STPs.The three headline issues of improving quality, improving health and wellbeing and improving efficiency of services can all be supported through the use of PRIMIS' quality improvement tools.
These detailed reports give an exceptionally useful view of the overall picture within the CCG (from contributed data). This includes synopses and graphs (where appropriate) for CCG prevalence, key performance indicators, care processes done (the eight care processes) and achievement against targets separated for Type and non-Type 1 Diabetes for HbA1c levels, blood pressure and cholesterol.
An overview of practices' data uploads by date are also tabled (including a list of those still to upload) so CCGs can monitor activity levels for their diabetes programme.
CCGs and localities may wish to promote the use of the free Diabetes Care quality improvement tool and the upload of results to CHART Online by practices in their area to improve the effectiveness and completeness of the reports. Please contact PRIMIS if you would like us to help improve uptake in your locality or require additional imformation.
In addition to Diabetes Care, we are curently working towards making CCG comparative reports available for the Asthma Care quality improvement tool.
