Introduction to the KPIs for English Screening Programmes
A brief introduction to the rationale behind the KPIs for the English Screening Programmes Posted by: Rebecca Halliwell
Timetable for KPI Data SubmissionThe following tables provide information in regards to the submission deadlines and KPI titles for the year 2011/12. All KPIs specified in the bottom table are expected to be returned in each quarter. The new data submission template is available at the end of each review period. The Q4 2011/12 template is posted above. Please do nor submit any Q4 data until 1st June 2012. Templates must be completed with the names, job title and contact details of the personnel completing the form and signing off the form. Please check that the data entered into the form has been put in the correct cells and the name of the organsation that the data is for is entered into all of the cells that data is being enetered for. Please do not use the 'copy and paste values' function on this spreadsheet as it corrupts the formula. Please do not alter any of the formatting, such as fonts, cell colours or gridlines as this corrupts the template. Any incomplete or corrupted templates will be returned to the submitting organsation with a request to re-submit with details as to what needs tobe corrected. All completed templates should be signed off at a local level with by the relevant commissioner/screening lead (or other relevant person) and then forwarded to the following email address: kpi-submissions@uknsc.org. All submitted templates will be acknowledged by email with a standard reply sent via the ‘reply to all’ route. All submitted templates are uploaded onto the secure area of the extranet within 24 hours of receipt. The submitted templates are uploaded in the format they were received in from the person(s) who forwarded them. The data on the forms are copied and collated into a large summary spreadsheet which is also housed on the secure extranet. The Review Period is reserved for data validation by the regional teams, SHA screening leads, programmes and KPI Analyst. The submission of late returns, the opportunity for data validity queries to be resolved and the first draft of the performance data and completeness of return tables to be drawn up. After the close of the review period, the various national and regional summaries will be drawn up in draft form and posted on the extranet page (link to the top left of this page) and circulated by email around the relevant Regional Teams, SHA Leads and Programme Centre leads. There are two flowcharts (available to download, with supporting notes, below) to illustrate the two submission routes for the screening services that do not have a standardised national IT system (such as those used by NHSP/NIPE & AAA). Flowchart A illustrates the path of submission for organsations that submit data using the submission template to the UK NSC (kpi-submissions@uknsc.org). Flowchart B shows the submission pathway where a regional team collects and validates the KPI submissions and then submits the whole region to the UK NSC. Flowchart A is applicable to all regions submitting DR KPIs and the antenatal and newborn KPIs. Flowchart B is applicable to antenatal and newborn KPIs. DR submits data directly to the UK NSC and then collated data is sent to the regional QA managers - they then chase up the missing submissions, but it is assumed that all validation occurs before data reaches the UK NSC. Questions and comments in regards to the KPI submission process, KPI data collection process and notification about late KPI data submissions are welcomed to the following email address: KPI submission quarters, deadlines and review period closing dates for 2011/12 Please note that these dates are for the final close of submission, no new submission will be accepted after these dates without prior notification of extenuating circumstances. Any earlier deadlines set at a regional/SHA level are to be adhered to locally, in order to support the validation processes and timely submission of data to the national KPI team. Regional ANNB Teams, London, North West, East of England and West Midlands operate an enhanced regional submission pathway and will require data to be submitted earlier to their nominated personnel.
The text in this this table illustrates the KPIs required for return during 2011/12. Version 1.7 of the KPI guidance document is available towards the top right of this webpage.
