Does Investment in Data Collection and Data Validation Justify the Cost - Introduction to the Key Elements of the new NJR Data Quality Strategy

Description

This presentation discusses the cost justification and data quality strategy related to orthopedic implants, focusing on comparisons between the costs of implants and other services like car registrations. The speaker, Mr Derek Pegg outlines that the lifetime monitoring cost for an orthopedic implant is approximately £13.79 plus VAT and compares this to a car dealership's registration fee of £95. The talk also touches on the mean cost of implants, estimating it as a possible underestimation due to the complexity of patients. The presentation highlights that more implants are currently being performed in the independent sector as the NHS has not fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr Pegg reviews compliance rates in data collection, expressing concern over some hospitals' performance, suggesting supportive processes for units with lower compliance. The importance of data accuracy, consent, and classification issues is emphasized, concluding with the belief that high-quality data is essential for patient safety and effective care.
