Outline of Session • Overview of Comparative Analysis Service (CAS) – Pete Horsfield • Outline of CAS for CHD – Pete Horsfield • User perspective of CAS for CHD – Shirley McLean • Discussion
Overview of CAS (1) • PRIMIS • Support and Training • Information Management • Data Quality • Data Quality Analysis • Standard Query Set • All schemes (within scheme only) • Comparative Analysis Service • Added-value service • Clinically focused • Voluntary • Selective (data quality filters) • Out-of-scheme, practice level
Overview of CAS (2) • Methods • Selection of topics • Clinical Advisory Group • User Representative Group • PRIMIS Team • Development of queries • National standards • NSFs • Recognised guidelines • Clinical Advisory Group • Iterative process
CAS for CHD • First CAS query set • Pilot model for future work • Approaching end of first cycle of iteration • Run in 14 schemes ( 150 practices) • Pragmatic approach • Loosely based on immediate priorities of NSF • Anticipate core information needs • Reflect what is achievable now • Platform on which to build

Information from General PracticeCoronary Heart Disease Shirley McLean Clinical Information Co-ordinator South Hams & West Devon PCT 3rd April 2001 Birmingham
Started Aug 2000 18 practices in total 16 participating 2 due to start in July av. 75% patient records on computer 100% by April 2002 Query sets used DQ Data Quality CHDB Basic Level Systems in Use Microtest x 8 EMIS x 4 Meditel System5 x 3 Vision x 3 South Hams & West DevonClinical Data Project
September • Approval from Clinical Governance Leads October / November • Read Code training December • New version of MIQUEST received for use with CHD NSF Queries • Test sites, one for each system • MIQUEST Interpreter failure • Deadline extended (thanks Lynne!)
January • PCT CHD NSF Launch Day held • Summary list of Read codes • Data sent to the Comparative Analysis Service February • Feedback received; gross errors at one practice fixed by supplier; data resubmitted March • Feedback received & reported to Clinical Governance • Practices visits arranged
Beneficial Outcomes • Motivation to enter data on the computer • Coding lessons learnt • System failures identified & fixed • Corrupt data identified & fixed • Under-recording of Diagnoses, Smoking Status, Alcohol, BMIs identified • New templates enabling improved data collection • Validation of ‘Registers’ supported & encouraged
Hints & Tips • Select Test sites • Check the raw data • Allocate PRIMIS Unique Identifiers in batches by supplier • Provide free training, preferably on-site • Suppliers can help!
Known Problems with Results • Un-coded drug data • Unreliable incidence data • A true picture of Clinical Practice is masked by clinical system / data quality issues, e.g. Apparent under-recording: • Not all patient records on the computer / codes not entered at all • Alternative Read codes used • No guarantee that NSF information requirements will be fully met in the form required by HAs
Wish List • Rush output in NSF age ranges, <35, 35-74, >74 • To be included in queries: G73% PVD 5853. Echocardiogram 792.. / 773. Coronary Artery Operations 771. Angioplasty 8HTK. Referral to stop-smoking clinic 137L. Current non-smoker (where date ceased = ?) • Rush files to include a record of the Read codes and terms used for each chart
Future Plans • Provide feedback & agree action plans with practices • Get written consent from each practice before identifying & publishing the results • Report to the Executive • CHD Intermediate & Advanced queries • More Read Code training • Repeat query cycle & map trends
