Description
Data Analytics for Integrated and Federated Care delivers the ability to combine, or link, and then report against structured datasets and then present the results to underpin (secondary uses of the data such as) service and performance management, decision-making around services and resource usage, action planning, alerting / issue management and forecasting.Â
Subject to the correct data sharing agreements being in place, the Data Analytics Capability enables reporting against datasets from systems within the Integrated/Federated Care Setting (e.g. GP clinical systems or systems holding information relating to budgets, spend, drug costs, etc.) It also allows reporting on data from other sources: national (e.g. HES, ePACT2, QOF, GPES); and local (e.g. other care providers in the area). Â
Users can run existing or create new reports as required, creating output at different levels (e.g. Practice, Integrated/Federated Care Setting, CCG or postcode area) and presenting the results according to the needs of the audience (e.g. as reports, aggregated figures or via dashboards).
The Data Analytics Capability supports analysis of data from different systems or sources (e.g. Patient, prescribing, Appointments, financial, workforce). Practices and Integrated/Federated Care Setting (Federations) can use this data, for example, to:
- Maximise the use of current resources
- Assess future resource needs
- Plan and manage Patient care
- Benchmark and track performance
- Underpin decision-makingÂ

Given there is a library of existing reports
And the security model defines the functions and data that are allowed to each user
And access permissions allow the sharing of report templates by the report template creator
And the other user is an authorised user of the tool and data
When the report template is shared with a user
Then the report template can be run by the other user
And the results are output
And the results are constrained to the data allowed by the security model
Acceptance criterion 3: schedule report to run
Given there is a library of existing reports
And a reporting schedule is defined for the report (e.g. regular reporting cycle such as month end)
When the Analyst defines the times and intervals at which the report will be run
Then the report is run at the defined times and intervals
And the results can be output according to the existing report design
EpicDA5 - present output
As an Analyst
I want to be able to present the output of reporting and analysis in a variety of ways
So that I can best tailor the output to the audience and purpose of the reporting
Acceptance criterion 1: create detailed report
Given that the audience requires access to the report detail (e.g. list of Patients with a condition to enable planning, report of referrals and test requests)
And access to the detail of the report is appropriate for the audience
When the report is runÂ
Then the detail output is retrieved according to the design of the report
And the detailed output can be presented to the audience (e.g. as a list, table or other)
Acceptance criterion 2: create aggregated report
Given the audience for the report require aggregated information (e.g. counts of Patients with a condition across the Federation or counts of Appointment 'Did Not Attend' by Practice)
And a report has been previously created and configured to meet the reporting requirement
When the report is run
Then the output is aggregated or summarised according to the design of the report
And the aggregated output can be presented to the audience (e.g. as a table)
Acceptance criterion 3: output to dashboard or similar visual representation of the data
Given that the audience want to receive to receive multiple types of data presented visually (e.g. to track performance over time and receive alerts)
And a report or set of reports have been previously created and configured to meet the reporting requirement
