Monday March 21, 5.00pm,
Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX
Identification and evaluation of standardised datasets for measuring and monitoring access to health care
Speakers: Alison Macfarlane, City University
Sylvia Godden, Public Health Policy Unit, UCL
Nick Drey, City University
Abstract: A recently completed study reviewed the use of routine data to measure and monitor access to health care in England. Particular questions were about the potential for monitoring access to care for specific groups of people, including geographical populations, people with specific conditions and marginalised groups within the population.
Three aspects of the work will be presented focusing on the uses and shortcomings of routine data and how our ability to measure and monitor access might be improved. These are issues about the use of Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) data, use of routine data to determine access to maternity and neonatal care and whether performance indicators are realistic measures of access to care.
All welcome
