Latest Data from our shared data portal

01/10/20

The latest data from our new national data portal, that allows all teams on the network to track demand/cost data with standardised data sets and shared analytics.
The graphs show data for 59 patients.
The left hand graphs show the demand and cost caused by these patients in the 12 months before our teams start supporting them.
The right hand graphs show the de-escalating demand and cost in the first 12 months of our intervention.
Blue = Police data sets
Green = Ambulance data sets
Yellow = A&E data sets
Pink = Mental Health data sets
£1.3m+ less 999 & crisis resources were deployed in Year 2 than were used in Year 1.
Thankyou to our teams in Derbyshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, London and South Yorkshire for the data.

Most importantly of all....a huge well done to these service users who are clearly making great progress, learning new ways of coping, working more effectively with services and using critical care response teams more responsibly.
