Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland health system needed visibility of COVID-19 suspected or confirmed cases, deaths, bed capacity and mortuary capacity.
Action
Our business intelligence (BI) specialists quickly developed a daily COVID-19 sit-rep dashboard covering the required system-level information as well as trends and comparisons with the national picture. The report also included workforce information from local NHS organisations and councils, as well as primary care information.
Quick modification was required to adapt to changing national reporting requirements, for example the inclusion of care home deaths.
We also developed twice-weekly system Management Information reports bringing in data and intelligence regarding the independent sector, care homes, voluntary sector, NHS 111 and shielded patient information.
Impact
The daily dashboard was delivered on time, meeting all requirements and available to all system partners. It has received excellent feedback from all system partners, including local providers’ executive boards. Local authorities have used it for modelling work.
The dashboard is supported by the twice-weekly management information reports.
