Overview of measures
| SALT Measure | Measure description | Period (for all tables unless specified) | Date for identification of age for allocation of age banding | Age Banding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STS001 | Numbers of requests for support received from NEW CLIENTS, broken down by the different sequels to that request. | Tables 1a and 1b - 01/04/2023 – 31/03/2024 Tables 2a and 2b01/10/2022 – 31/03/2024 | 31 March or DOD | Client aged 18+ at point of sequel being identified |
Relationships with ASCOF
Data from Tables 1a and 1b is used for ASCOF measure 2A (Long term support needs met by admission to residential and nursing care homes per 100,000 population). All clients recorded as requesting support through the ‘Self-funder with depleted funds’ route and whose funding for residential or nursing care is taken on by the local authority will count as new admissions. The sequel should be recorded as ‘Long Term Support (eligible services)’ with a ‘Nursing’ or ‘Residential’ Support Setting. The data in Tables 2a/2b will help give some indication of what proportion of clients receiving long term support or ST-Max have on a recent occasion received ST-Max, i.e. a ‘return rate’ and can be used and interpreted alongside ASCOF 2D, derived from STS002a.
| SALT Measure | Measure description | Period (for all tables unless specified | Date for identification of age for allocation of age banding | Age Banding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STS002a | Of new clients where the sequel to a request for support was ‘Short term Support to Maximise Independence’ (STS001) a breakdown of what followed the period of short term support. | 01/04/2023 – 31/03/2024 | 31 March or DOD | Client aged 18+ at time of sequel |
Relationships with ASCOF
ASCOF measure 2D will use the data from this measure to calculate the outcome of short-term services: sequel to service. This could also be used in conjunction with SALT measure STS001 Tables 2a and 2b by looking at clients who returned within 6 months to request (and be given) further short term support or long term services. Data from Table 5 is also used for ASCOF measure 2A (Long term support needs met by admission to residential and nursing care homes, per 100,000 population).
| SALT Measure | Measure description | Period (for all tables unless specified) | Date for identification of age for allocation of age banding | Age Banding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STS002b | Of existing clients who have received ‘Short term Support to Maximise Independence’ a breakdown of what followed the period of short term support. | 01/04/2023 – 31/03/2024 | 31 March or DOD | Client aged 18+ at time of sequels |
Relationships with ASCOF
Data from Table 2 and 4 are used for ASCOF measure 2A (Long term support needs met by admission to residential and nursing care homes per 100,000 population). It is recognised that efforts to ‘re-enable’ or rehabilitate existing clients may be very different in nature to those programmes set up for potential clients contacting the council for the first time, so data from STS002b is not utilised in ASCOF measure 2D (Outcome of short term services: sequel to service).
| SALT Measure | Measure description | Period (for all tables unless specified) | Date for identification of age for allocation of age banding | Age Banding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STS004 | Proportion of older people (65+) who were still at home 91 days after discharge from hospital into reablement / rehabilitation services. | Hospital discharges between 01/10/2023 – 31/12/2024 with 91 day follow-up | Date of discharge | Clients aged 65+ only |
Relationships with ASCOF
Data from measure STS004 is used for ASCOF measure 2B (proportion of older people, 65 and over, who were still at home 91 days after discharge from hospital into reablement / rehabilitation services). It is considered in relation to the 2D measure, though these cover different perspectives on rehabilitation and reablement.
| SALT Measure | Measure description | Period (for all tables unless specified) | Date for identification of age for allocation of age banding | Age Banding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
