The Outcomes and Registries Programme: Context and Key Priorities

Description

In this presentation, Scott Pryde, Delivery Director for the Outcomes and Registries Program in England, addresses the audience at the BOA about significant developments in patient safety and healthcare data management. He reflects on the Cumberlege Review and the Patterson Inquiry, which highlighted critical gaps in the healthcare system, particularly regarding data that affects clinical vigilance and safety. Scott emphasizes the need for improved informed consent and robust data collection, noting the expectation from the public for transparent healthcare practices.



He reveals that NHS England is pioneering a mandatory outcomes registry framework aimed at enhancing patient safety and clinical effectiveness. Scott underlines the importance of a clinician-led and patient-centered approach, advocating for patient involvement in the development of healthcare practices and policies. He discusses the fragmented nature of current audit systems and introduces a new technology platform that will unify multiple registries, increasing both patient participation and data accuracy.



With hopes of expanding patient registration from 700,000 to 2.5 million, Scott highlights the collaborative nature of upcoming projects, including the formation of advisory panels to ensure continuous feedback and patient engagement. Lastly, he encourages the audience to connect with him regarding ongoing innovations and invites their involvement as the program evolves.
