HI,

I am in the process of piloting two studies, within the Trust, with
regards to collecting and recording patient equality data. The proforma
that I am piloting and the training that accompanies the collection of
this data has been developed in consultation with members of local
communities.

I will be out of the office much of today, but will gladly share this
training and the proforma and accompanying patient information with you
tomorrow. These studies are being undertaken to inform an all Wales
approach.

Kind Regards

sian

Dear Sarah,

I would be interested to learn more about what you have achieved. I
understand that Berkshire East PCT will be making this a priority in the
near future.

Subject: Patient profiling - information for patients


Greetings
In Lambeth we are updating our patient profiling data collection, in
part because we have found that certain questions are confusing for
patients or have no Read Codes (British GP disease coding system), and
partly because (perhaps paradoxically) the new world of procurement for
primary care provision in England means we have the opportunity to (and
must) be more precise about what data we want providers to collect.  We
are therefore developing a primary  care minimum dataset for Lambeth so
providers can demonstrate progress on equality (the aim being to collect
the information once on registration and to share on referral).  Of
course we are some way from implementing this but alongside the dataset
we need to revise our patient information on why the information is
being collected.  I wondered if people would be prepared to send or
point me to examples of their patient information leaflets or similar on
the why's and wherefore's of monitoring?  

We're happy to share everything we come up with (I can send the draft
patient profiling to individuals on request and people are also welcome
to send me theirs) and of course if anyone else is moving in this
direction I'd be delighted to discuss issues that people are grappling
with (anyone with experience or advice about monitoring sexual
orientation or transgender?? People here are nervous about it and there
appear to be no useful Read Codes - but realise this is not the topic of
this e-group).   

Thanks
Sarah
