Summary Paediatric Indicator Table (SPaedIT)
About SPaedIT
GIRFT and NHS England’s Children and Young People (CYP) Transformation team have recently updated the data tool (SPaedIT) to support healthcare providers with elective recovery of CYP services.
SPaedIT brings together site-level data summarising the context each site is operating in (for example patient profile, staff and beds capacity) and the areas where there appears to be opportunity for improvement (for example patient flow, optimisation and outcomes), all in one place in an easily-accessible dashboard.
Refreshed monthly, the data is available across eight key paediatric surgical specialties and more than 50 metrics, supporting frontline NHS colleagues in the 180 providers treating children in England (specialist centres and DGHs), as well as policy makers and commissioners.
Updates for SPaedIT version 4 include:
- Costing metrics for inpatient stays and outpatient appointments, estimates of savings available and detail of resourcing opportunities.
- New hubs view showing hub activity volumes, benchmarked theatres productivity and the impact of hubs of waiting lists.
- Timeseries view of your site’s benchmarked position on a composite context and opportunity score.
Get started below.
