Hi all,
 
Thanks for the responses!
 
I have changed the room booking for April 20th to 3:30pm and shifted the
future bookings to 3pm, which I hope will make it easier to get to and
from without hitting the peak hour or lunch time traffic.
 
Proposed Agenda

1.      
        Welcome
        
2.      
        Dashboards -- what's planned at the sites working actively on
these, and what advice do sites that have them wish they'd had.
        This doesn't need to be too structured, but I'd be interested in
a few slides from Chris Macmanus, Sveta & Felicity and Jenny on what
their top priority indicators are and how they intend to source and
process the data. It might also be a good spot for a quick QlikView
overview if Jenny or Peter Carty has something they can demo.
        
3.      
        Interhospital balances -- why does my CFO want me to write a web
app for this :-)
        I will follow up with her to try to get some more concrete
detail on what this entails currently and what would be desirable. I'll
circulate for group discussion to see if we think there's a workable
solution based on data extracts we perform.
        
4.      
        ABF Update -- apparently a "whole bunch of stuff" was coming
from IHPA, NHPA, etc "at the end of March". So far, silence.
        I've emailed Amy McDowell at DH, and I'll try Greg Dalton &
Simon Moy, too, as they seem to have been across all this stuff.
        
5.      
        Chat about the old times.

 
 
I'm not locked in to this agenda, so feel free to come with your own and
we can work it out as we go.
 
Kind regards,

Hi

I agree that the group would be able to contribute a lot of value. Could
I however suggest a 3:30 start?

Like everyone else, I'm very keen on this group and think it has the
potential to add a lot of value to all of us.

I'll be there on the 20th any of the suggested times work for me.

 

I'm happy to talk about where we are up to (we are in the midst of
implementing a DWH in SQL Server with QlikView as our main reporting
tool) - but would think that might be more interesting once we've got a
bit further along.  We too have three months to get all our key
dashboards delivered.  

 

Cheers

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
