Using data for planning and funding Hutt Valley DHB NGO Information development workshop Michelle van der Raaij Service Analyst Planning & Funding May 2012
Our purpose We got into this to help people
The big questions Are we really helping people? How do we know we are doing a good job?
The big questions How do we know we are doing a good job? Are we really helping people? Planning: have we got the right services to meet people’s needs? Funding: Have we got the best out of our resources? Management: Is all our effort making a difference?
The data helps us answer the big questions • Planning • Funding • Contract monitoring • Service management • Service quality
Using data – a journey with our providers • Started collecting client NHI level data in 2008 • Excel spreadsheet templates • Tailoring the data to the kind of service e.g. day service, work rehab, community support, residential • Feeding back the data: regular contract meetings with Providers • Discussion about the story behind the numbers • Supporting service improvement and development
What data do we collect? • Excel spreadsheet templates • NHI (or unique identifier) • Contacts • Contact hours • Beddays used • Work hours • Attendances at group sessions • “Drop-ins” • Outcomes
What data do we collect?Tailoring report for use of management
Using the data for Planning • Mapping services • How many people are using services? • Where are the gaps?
Using the data for Funding • Are the resources being used fully? • Are we getting value for money? • Could more people be seen? • Are all the hours/beds available being used? • Are people getting a good service?
Using the data: setting targets • What have we contracted for? • What is the service model? • FTE = 30 contact hours for 52 weeks or adjust to service model • Available beds – what is the target occupancy? • Length of stay in service - beds
Using the data:Data quality improvement + Service management =more people receive service
Using the data: Adjusting funding to match what is being delivered
Future plans – using the data • Move to PRIMHD as the main data source • Continue to support providers to use the data • Continue to use data to inform planning & funding • Use data to recognise better service performance • Support development of outcome measures to inform service quality improvement
