The November 2016 Dashboard is now available and can be accessed at:
http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/PrescriptionServices/5891.aspx
It has been relaunched via a new platform based on NHS RightCare’s InstantAtlas and now includes:
• Time series analysis, enabling trends to be monitored
• The ability to extract visuals for use in presentations
• A csv data download function
• New patient experience comparators (included for the first time)
• Flexibility offered by providing a lite excel version. This is similar to previous excel versions but now includes a dashboard and Figures at a Glance for Hospital Trusts as well as CCGs
This dashboard helps support NHS organisations in highlighting variation and facilitates discussion on how they compare with others across a range of comparators. It is not intended as a performance measurement tool and there are no targets.
The next release of the Dashboard is due February 2017.
