2. How can Read Codes be used to model workload? Provide benchmark analysis of workload within the practice over time
Seasonal variations (e.g. flu vaccinations)
Balance of workload across resources, e.g. GPs, nurses
Impact of implementing specific programmes
Provide benchmark analysis of workload against other practices
Why do some practices do things differently?
What was the impact of a programme implementation on a practice?
Support future workload planning for a practice
Provide scenario generation, enabling what if analysis for alternative workload plans
Analyse and make cases for employing additional resources, or shifting resource workloads within the practice / to other providers 2 British Museum 12th June 2008
3. What might practices gain from workload modelling? A better understanding of work delivered within the practice
Who is doing what work for which patients, conditions and services?
How is my practice doing compared with other practices?
An ability to evaluate the impact on workload of implementing specific programmes
An ability to evaluate options for actively managing future practice workload through
Shifting workload within the practice
Providing additional or reducing resources within the practice
Establishing partnerships with other organisations, such as specialists, mental health teams, pharmacists, patient groups 3 British Museum 12th June 2008
4. How this might be done in practice: Workload Modelling Tool The following slides demonstrate a concept for a tool that supports Workload Modelling
To present what might be possible using read code data
It contains a number of sections
