Our Methodology
IDENTIFY
We identify patients that require the Trust’s attention, be these patients at potential risk of clinical harm, records that can be removed from the waiting list, or records that require a correction.
RECTIFY
We validate the records identified utilising our Clear PTL validation management software, collecting information on all validation findings and outcomes to provide insights into the root causes of the data quality issues.
PREVENT
We use the intelligence provided through the validation activity to address the root cause issues so that they can be rectified, preventing recurrence and ensuring sustained improvements.
“Whilst overseeing the National Data Quality Programme, it was a pleasure to work with the Source Group team to maximise the impact of using Clear PTL and agree an oversight framework to support priority pathways being validated. Holding weekly check-in meetings ensured that we were able to take stock and understand our position against baseline, and variation from where we intended to be. Given the history that Source Group has with the NHS and validation, they have significant insight and therefore are very helpful for modelling impact. We procured validation staff that were trained to a high level, with supporting quality assurance measures, with agreed levels of validations to be done per day, again which we were able to track. The programme identified operational issues that otherwise would not be visible, including poorer rates of clinics being cashed up since the pandemic and the impact this has on the non-admitted position. Overall an excellent team and I do not hesitate in recommending them.”
