Data Feedback for Facilitators Dr Dougal Darvill Emma Hallam PRIMIS
Today’s workshop • quick introduction to PDQ and SDQ • a review of what the queries are all about • viewing the data - in context • what we find - and its meaning for practices (PDQ, SDQ, CHD)
Workshop themes • data analysis and interpretation depend on data quality • data quality can only be assessed accurately with practice-specific / local knowledge
Focus on PDQ and SDQ • it’s what most schemes are using • PDQ is more meaningful to practices than DQ
PDQ • more meaningful to practices than DQ • recording of risk factors in the last 5 years • drugs without diagnosis (last year) • cytology subset available • HbA1c • separate from diabetes subset • recording in last year

SDQ • two main aims: • to find baseline prevalence recording of well defined diagnoses • to highlight data quality issues surrounding the recording of past medical history
Diagnosis code Data quality gap Diagnosis and associated codes Before After Time series:Apparent prevalence
What do the data tell us? Using the local report-style queries to investigate further
Possible explanations for data • practice-specific recording behaviour • system-related anomalies / variations • query limitations • Read coding issues • variability in clinical practice
“It is a capital mistake to theorise before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgement.” Sherlock Holmes, 1888
The meaning for practices • lots of work!
Working with the practices • remedial action • correcting mistakes • case identification • training issues • time • going over the same ground • performance management • value of inter-practice comparison
CHD • what does the CHD data mean to the practices? • detail about their CHD patients • detail about monitoring • NSF performance targets • it is very dependent on their data quality • clinical benefits
The number of patients with an aspirin recording (prescribed or OTC) increased between first and second extracts
