Stephen, At the Austin we have something set up for our ED to record bypasses as they happen and the data is then checked retrospectively from the pdfs. As I mentioned we did get an episode level ambulance extract but had a lot of trouble matching to our ED data because a lot of case numbers were missing from our data. It's not a mandatory field in VEMD.

I would be wanting to verify AV's times with our ED data I'm planning on attending on Sept 21st and would be keen to discuss further. Regards Steve From: chai-t-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:chai-t-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rose William Sent: Wednesday, 12 September 2012 10:54 AM To: chai-t@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [chai-t] Re: SOP - Percentage of ambulance transfers within 40 minutes Hi Peter & Steve, It sounds like the daily report from PADG is a one-off for the Austin and doesn't necessarily give you what you want for internal reporting. Is it a flat file extract that might be amenable to run more regularly? Do you think that there's enough common ground in what people need to report that we can ask as a group and save some hassle for PADG? As we don't have an ED I'm not across this particularly, but if it's useful to get together on this I'm happy to host. Perhaps we can catch up quickly after Friday week's demo to discuss? Kind regards, William Rose Business Intelligence Manager Information Management +61 3 9656 5231 | Level 8, St Andrews Place, East Melbourne VIC 3002 ________________________________ From: chai-t-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:chai-t-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DAVEY, Peter Sent: Wednesday, 12 September 2012 9:33 AM To: chai-t@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [chai-t] Re: SOP - Percentage of ambulance transfers within 40 minutes Stephen, We now get a file sent to our CEO each month with the monthly transfer time performance for all health services. We also receive a daily report. Here's the e-mail contact from the daily report: padg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For our internal reporting we use a proxy measure; when patients arrive in ED by ambulance on the ED system they're put into an "ambulance waiting room" while they're still under the care of the ambos. So the offload time is from the time they arrived until the time they move out of that waiting room. This data is displayed in "real time" on our ED KPI dashboard.
