Patient Activity Reporting Service

PARS will provide an information system that provides practices with monthly reports on referrals and diagnostic procedures based on the clinical letters and emails arriving at practices.  PARS will also provide costing data.  The reports will be published within a week of month end. The reports will also provide some projected activity and costs.  A list of these reports is provided.

The first reports, listed below, will be available within 9 weeks of the start of the project.  They will be sent to PbC goups and practices. A whole group report is sent to the PCT.

Referral tables will be per practice

Financial tables will be for the whole group.

PARS will provide data for the PCT to validate SUS data.

PARS will provide data that allows the PCT to challenge provider costs within the time limits.

PARS will develop system that will extract the cause, need and outcome of each referral.  PARS will create tables of Patients’ Unmet Needs and Doctors’ Educational Needs, or suggested new pathways.    These reports will be standardised and available within 6 months of the start of the project, although ad hoc “manual” reports would be available within 3 months of starting.

PARS will be registered under the Data Protection Act.  It will accede to NHS regulation on patient confidentiality and the owning clinicians are subject to GMC regulation and good practice guidelines.

Suitable indemnity insurance will be in place.

The intellectual property rights of the service and systems developed remain with Drs Bulger and McMinn.

Money Reports
The following reports are automatically generated once referral data is inputted; with shadow PCT contract data for each provider  put onto the system once a year (Provider, HRGs and Costs and expected budget). The system produces a report (Payment Remittance advice) which, under PBC, would validate PCT data confirming that the PBC group agrees to PCT payment of the provider invoice.  This report informs the PCT that the practice would have seen a letter confirming the procedures or outpatient attendance.   The PCT would have this some two months in advance of expected payment dates.
