Along with the Quarter 2 2011/12 Better Care Better Value indicator data we have included an update to the web site that will enable you to
- access and download previously published quarter data.
- view the performance trends for the BCBV indicators.
Better Care Better Value indicators identify potential areas for improvement in efficiency which may include commissioners re-designing and shifting services away from the traditional setting of the hospital and out towards community based care.
The tool should prompt you to start thinking of "how" and "why" your organisation might differ from others and to support commissioning priorities for health communities. The opportunity is indicative only and local health communities should interpret it taking into account local knowledge.
Commissioning Indicators
The Emergency Admissions and Managing Surgical Thresholds commissioning indicators have been updated. For an explanation of the data issue and impact please click here
Provider Indicators
Following a review of the Managing 14 day Emergency Readmissions indicator it has been found that the numerator values were incorrectly calculated for instances where the patient was admitted to another provider within the 14 days following their discharge. The readmission was incorrectly included in the provider organisation of the readmission spell rather than the discharge. This has been corrected fro Quarter 2 2011/12 and the Quarter 1 2011/12 data for this indicator has also been updated.
Notes
The financial opportunity shown for indicators in the Clinical and Workforce categories is calculated for the quarter displayed, this value should be multiplied by 4 to determine the annualised opportunity. The financial opportunity shown for indicators in the Prescribing category is an annualised figure.
The information will be updated quarterly.
