Hi all,
I hope this is getting to you all -- perhaps send a quick "I'm alive"
email to the list so I can see you have been joined up correctly. I got
a couple of out-of-office notifications after yesterday's email, so I'm
hoping it's working.
Our next meeting is on April 20th. I've had some requests for an earlier
timeslot: room-wise there's a choice of 1:30, 3:30 or 4:00 start on
Friday 20th. Perhaps let me know what time suits when you reply to the
list.
The Data Governance Conference last week had some interesting topics
come up that might be interesting to the group:
* Funnel plots and statistical process control charts to help
separate normal variation from abnormal situations that require
investigation.
* Suggestions of ways to better match patients than simple surname
/ given name / date of birth rules.
* Using data mining to help identify the key data items in a
collection that influence a particular metric, and hence what is
important to get right.
I haven't had anyone put their hand up yet to talk at the next session:
I want to dob in Chris MacManus, because he's been given the unenviable
task of getting some key dashboards delivered in three months, starting
from zero, and I think it would be interesting to hear how it's going to
happen (Chris Bain -- you might like to come with popcorn). Chris
MacManus is on leave right now, though, so I might be stretching the
friendship there.
Anthony -- perhaps you could spend some time expanding on possible
initiatives that could go beyond just tips & tricks. I know my CFO is
keen for me to find a way to manage the reconciliation of inter-hospital
balances, and I'd suggested this could be done based on a pre-submission
cross-check of the various agencies' F1 returns. This might be an easy
project to try out some collaborative work on. I'm sure there are lots
more, though, so perhaps you can lead a discussion around this?
If anyone has a good tool / technique for doing patient matching to the
registry of births, deaths & marriages, or the Cancer Registry, I'm
interested to hear about that too.
Any other takers?
Kind regards,
William Rose
