Primary Care Dashboard Phase V

This Workbook contains monthly data for NHS Board Primary Care - requesting totals for a specific suite of blood science tests from the Cancer, Cardiac, Diabetes and General Pathways.

This Workbook consists of three dashboards:

  1. Demonstrating over and under requesting of each test by General Practice, compared to cohorts of Cluster, Board, National or Peer Group Request rates.
  2. Demonstrating monthly request rates for a single test by General Practice, with comparison lines from the cohorts of Cluster, Board, National or Peer Group Request rates.
  3. Show ‘box and whisker’ and bar charts of General Practice Request Rate with grouping by Cluster, Board, National or Peer Group.

This guidance is designed to help navigate users through the Primary Care Atlas of Variation for Laboratory Diagnostic Tests, developed by the National Demand
Optimisation Group (NDOG).

Feedback on the National Demand Optimisation Group 'Phase V Atlas of Variation'

The questions are designed to gather feedback on the various dashboard views held within the Phase V Atlas of Variation.  All views are welcome and will help to ensure the Atlas is fit for purpose when it is rolled out nationally.  Feedback may relate to content, functionality, usability or anything else that you would like to highlight.

We encourage all NHS Board and discipline representatives / leads to access and complete the feedback form to allow for appropriate clinical information to be linked to the dashboards.
