Summary

Description

This report, generated from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) Accident and Emergency (A&E) data, sets out data coverage, data quality and performance information for the following five A&E indicators: Left department before being seen for treatment rate Re-attendance rate Time to initial assessment Time to treatment Total time in A&E Publishing these data will help share information on the quality of care of A&E services to stimulate the discussion and debate between patients, clinicians, providers and commissioners, which is needed in a culture of continuous improvement. These A&E HES data are published as experimental statistics to note the shortfalls in the quality and coverage of records submitted via the A&E commissioning data set. The data used in these reports are sourced from Provisional A&E HES data, and as such these data may differ to information extracted directly from Secondary Uses Service (SUS) data, or data extracted directly from local patient administration systems. Provisional HES data may be revised throughout the year.

Summary

Description

In April 2011 a new set of clinical quality indicators was introduced to replace the previous four hour waiting time standard, and measure the quality of care delivered in A&E departments in England. Further details on the background and management of the quality indicators are available from the Department of Health (DH) website. This is the publication of data on the Accident and Emergency (A&E) clinical quality indicators, drawn from A&E data within provisional Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). These data relate to A&E attendances in March 2012 and draw on 1.53 million detailed records of attendances at major A&E departments, single speciality A&E departments (e.g. dental A&Es), minor injury units and walk-in centres in England. This report sets out data coverage, data quality and performance information for the following five A&E indicators: Left department before being seen for treatment rate Re-attendance rate Time to initial assessment Time to treatment Total time in A&E Publishing these data will help share information on the quality of care of A&E services to stimulate the discussion and debate between patients, clinicians, providers and commissioners, which is needed in a culture of continuous improvement. These A&E HES data are published as experimental statistics to note the shortfalls in the quality and coverage of records submitted via the A&E commissioning data set. The data used in these reports are sourced from Provisional A&E HES data, and as such these data may differ to information extracted directly from Secondary Uses Service (SUS) data, or data extracted directly from local patient administration systems. Provisional HES data may be revised throughout the year (for example, activity data for April 2011 may differ depending on whether they are extracted in August 2011, or later in the year). Indicator data published for earlier months have not been revised using updated HES data extracted in subsequent months. The data presented here represent the output of the existing A&E Commissioning Dataset (CDS V6 Type 010). It must be recognised that these data will not exactly match the data definitions for the A&E clinical quality indicators set out in the guidance document A&E clinical quality indicators: Implementation guidance and data definitions (external link). The DH is currently working with Information Standards Board to amend the existing CDS Type 10 Accident and Emergency to collect the data required to monitor the A&E indicators. A&E HES data are collected and published by the NHS Information Centre for Health and Social Care. The data in this report are secondary analyses of HES data produced by the Urgent & Emergency Care team, Department of Health. A&E HES data are published as experimental statistics to note the known shortfalls in the quality of some A&E HES data elements. The published information sets out where data quality for the indicators may be improved by, for example, reducing the number of unknown values (e.g. unknown times to initial assessment) and default values (e.g. the number of attendances that are automatically given a time to initial assessment of midnight 00:00). The quality and coverage of A&E HES data have considerably improved over the years, and the Department and the NHS Information Centre are working with NHS Performance and Information directors to further improve the data.

Summary

Description

The Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) allows practices to exception-report (exclude) specific patients from data collected to calculate achievement scores. Patients can be exception-reported from individual indicators for various reasons, for example if they are newly diagnosed or newly registered with a practice, if they do not attend appointments or where the treatment is judged to be inappropriate by the GP (such as medication cannot be prescribed due to side-effects). The General Medical Services contract sets out the criteria which allow practices to participate in QOF but not to be penalised where exception reporting occurs. Patient exception reporting applies to QOF indicators where the level of achievement is determined by the percentage of patients receiving the designated level of care. The information presented here refers to exception reporting for indicators with the 'clinical domain' of the QOF, and two indicator sets in the 'additional services domain' (cervical screening and contraceptive services). For background information on QOF exception reporting, and for notes on the way exception reporting rates are calculated, see the detailed notes in the statistical bulletin in QOF exception reporting.

This links to datafiles containing national, SHA, PCT and practice level data tables. The Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), is a voluntary annual reward and incentive programme for all GP surgeries in England which is part of GP contracts. Results of GP practices' achievement against the QOF are published each year. The QOF is not about performance management, but resourcing and then rewarding good practice. For 2008-2009, a total of 8,229 GP practices in England are included in the published results, covering almost 100 per cent of registered patients in England. The QOF has four main components, known as domains. Each domain consists of a set of measures of achievement, known as indicators, against which practices score points according to their level of achievement.

Organisations that provide specialist mental health services make four quarterly MHMDS submissions and one annual submission each year. The submission deadlines are approximately 6 weeks after the end of the quarter and some routine quarterly reports are published 6 to 8 weeks later (an annual report based on the annual submission is published in November). From Q1 2010/11 these include some independent sector providers.
