Data ready QI project: time to get going

December 1, 2021

We know that many people want to improve the experience of the people that look after particularly that touch time as they reach the end of their lives and need excellent care more than ever.

Using Quality Improvement methodology to drive change using using national standards to bench mark against is a great way to do this.

For Palliative and End-of-Life Care the national standards to bench mark against are from the National Audit of Care at the End of Life (NACEL)

You can see the last SWBH results here They weren’t good, we were below national average on most of the metrics.

The good news is we have mapped these metrics to data we can extract from Unity and you can now access the data and set up your own QI project using high quality ready made data – less time reading through notes and more time with your team getting on and making much needed changes.

Alongside this we have collected resources and tools to help you on your local QI journey which you can find here.
