e-RS Dashboard (private version) benefits

It has been critical in being able to compare our levels of activity to our local trusts

I cannot get this information from any other source

multiple benefits

such a great tool

This central data point is fantastic

A time-saving and user-friendly tool for reporting on e-RS data activity

It represents an enormous time saving

To share the data quickly with our internal teams such as the suspected cancer data with our cancer team. 

A useful time saver to get answers around demand

Data quickly accessible instead of having to wait for our BI teams and can see in real time

Provision of referral data to consultants in comparison to other local hospitals following service changes

Allowed us to focus support on identified areas to improve performance

It has been critical in being able to compare our levels of activity to our local Trusts, providing support in demand and capacity planning and many other guises

Comparing trust with national performance over a prolonged period to identify areas for improvement

We are now able to see how we are progressing and measure that against other trusts

It has enabled us to review pre-referral optimisation to secondary care

Providing support in demand and capacity planning

To compare national performance over a large time frame to see areas for improvement

Targeted education for GP practices and consultants

Being able to look at the rates of rejections for referrals to identify and follow up outliers

Critical in being able to compare our levels of activity to our local trusts

Enables those without analytical skill / capacity to ask questions of the data.

The main benefit is the ability to check our own internal figures against national figures

Reporting generally on ERS is cumbersome and this central data point is fantastic

a nationally provided dashboard has enabled consistency of reporting (single version of the truth)

I am very supportive of a national dashboard to drive the expansion and standardisation of ERS reporting

seeing how the data is being presented inspires our reporting
