The National Consultant Information Programme (NCIP) - GIRFT Data at Surgeon Level
Description
This video features an interview led by Mike Reed with Sir Norman Williams and Marina Bogovac regarding the National Consultant Information Program (NSIP). The discussion focuses on how this program will utilize NHS data to enhance the quality and safety of surgical practices across various specialties. Sir Norman explains the initiative's goals, which are to offer NHS consultants access to their personal clinical activity data and patient outcomes, enabling them to compare their performance against national benchmarks.
The program, initiated in April 2018, aims to support continuous professional development and facilitate quality improvement across NHS consultants. It has received a significant investment of 5.5 million pounds to enhance its operations over the next three years. The NSIP is designed to provide a secure, confidential online portal where consultants can access their individual data and outcomes, which will be essential for their appraisals and revalidation.
They discuss the partnership with various clinical leaders and specialty associations to build the necessary infrastructure and content for the online tool, ensuring clinician engagement and relevance. The interview also touches upon how the program can help identify trends in patient care, manage risks, and ultimately improve patient safety.
Marina Bogovac then showcases the NSIP tool, demonstrating how it presents data for knee procedures, highlighting metrics such as readmission rates and patient demographics that consultants like Mike can use for quality assurance and improvement in their practice.
Overall, the NSIP is positioned as a transformative initiative aimed at providing NHS consultants with comprehensive data analysis tools that enhance their clinical effectiveness and accountability.
