your PTL accuracy

From Source Group’s work delivering the NHSE/I commissioned 2020/21 national data quality programme, analysing 137 Trust’s PTLs for 10-months and validating 400,000 pathways, we discovered that the average Trust’s PTL is inflated by 15% with:            

 

  • Non-RTT pathways that are live but should not be on the Incomplete PTL          

  • Pathways that have been discharged but remain on the PTL          

  • Duplicates

These errors have a drastic impact on the Trust’s waiting list size and RTT performance. An inaccurate PTL also impacts demand and capacity modelling and operational decision making, jeopardising your ability to operationally manage your patients. Source Group’s PTL Analysis supports you in identifying the pathways on your PTL that are most likely to be removed when validated, allowing you to target validation accuracy to achieve an accurate PTL. This significantly increases the efficiency of Trust validation activity, meaning more results are achieved with drastically less administrative resources required.

 

The PTL Analysis also assists Trust’s in identifying the root cause of the data quality issue, allowing it to be rectified to prevent recurrence, leading to a more accurate PTL in the short AND long term.
