HRG and PSS Toolkit Impact Assessment
Highlights changes in activity found in new releases of the Healthcare Resource Grouper (HRG) and identifies the tariff increase for each region and/or changes in HRG allocation by applying the new HRG tariff software to existing activity. The report also highlights any changes made to the PSS Toolkit and the impact this has on commissioner allocations and attendances.

Cystic Fibrosis Report
Designed as a week-by-week service overview dashboard for cystic fibrosis derived from SUS data.

Looks at consultant-led Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times in weeks, split by treatment function for the different pathways: Completed Pathways, Incomplete Pathways, Incomplete Pathways with Decision to Admit (DTA) and New RTT Patients (New Clock Starts). The report is refreshed monthly and there are options to filter by region and provider.

Specialised Mental Health Finance and Contracting Dashboard
Costed specialised mental health data analysed at provider and provider collaborative level. The report allows provider collaboratives to monitor their activity and spend and supports the repatriation of patients by exploring the volume of patients not receiving care within their local area and/or providers and the cost implications of this.

Service Specific Specialised Mental Health Activity Dashboards
Allows multiple measures to be explored at provider, regional or service type footprints including admissions, length of stay, delayed discharges, readmission rates and patients treated outside of their natural clinical flow. Identifies outliers and variation within each measure.

It provides variances for activity and spend against plans by provider, POD (Point of Delivery) and TFC (Treatment Function Code) and displays trends in activity and spend as well as highlighting activity not attributable to armed forces personnel.

Compliance Data Quality Report
Shows the performance of the population and quality of data items in the core datasets (ACM, PLCM, Drugs, Devices) and non-core datasets (such as Cancer Drug Fund and Limb Prosthetics). For each item it displays which items have failed quality checks and the number of instances based on adherence to the formats and standards in the national specifications. It also provides advice regarding what is required to correct the submissions.

Reconciliation Report
Highlights the differences in the Admitted Patient Care Services (APCS), Outpatient Attendances (OPA) and Accident and Emergency (A&E) submissions to SUS compared with the inpatient, outpatient and A&E PODs within the PLCM submission. This enables providers to implement the changes required to ensure the separate submissions match.
