  6. Clinical Performance Indicators • Documented clinical care provided • JRCALC v3 • Like for like benchmarking • Identification of best practice • Areas for development ~ transferable lessons

  8. Ambulance Service Performance • Now possible to collect more useful information • A better and more useful indicator of ambulance service performance that reflects patient care • 1. Speed of response • 2. Clinical Care Provided • 3. Clinical Outcome (alive/dead)

  9. What’s Next?National Audit of PAIN Management2005/2006 ASA/JRCALC Workplan • Patient Survey • Pain Assessment • Documentation • Use of pain scores • Pain Management • Use of analgesia

  10. Conclusions • The shift towards national audit and standards • Working with senior key partners, DH, MINAP, HCC, NICE • Engaging with member services • Major headway made • Milestones ~ National Benchmarking • Priorities in line with national policy/guidance • NSFs (CHD, Older People, Children) • NICE
