Course Information
Mersey Care was asked by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to develop a dashboard to support early identification of patient safety indicators on mental health wards. This was in response to a range of national reports that identified how data could support the safety and quality of the care we deliver. We’re thrilled to announce that, in partnership with Holmusk, we’ve developed a ‘proof of concept’ dashboard for use in inpatient settings. The project brings together a range of data sets from across the Trust, presented in an intuitive, intelligent dashboard to support clinical decision making. It includes an algorithm to help predict which wards are most likely to experience an increase of incidents, based on factors such as staff levels, patient complexity and admission velocity.
Target Audience
Our clinical colleagues will also be invited to review the tool but we’re keen to engage on this as widely as possible to understand how the dashboard could be developed prior to live testing. Whilst the dashboard was commissioned for mental health wards, there’s potential for this tool to be developed across our other services, such as secure, learning disability and community.
