  • CSA provides this quality improvement framework in three main ways: by supporting clinical services to develop new accreditation schemes by supporting existing clinical services accreditation schemes to attain professionally-led standards by demonstrating the impact of accreditation in achieving high quality clinical services
  • HQIP (on behalf of the Clinical Service Accreditation Sponsor Gorup), BSI and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) share a common purpose in improving the quality of healthcare services through standards and accreditation.
  • These resources provide professional bodies, CEOs, managers and clinical leaders with a framework for setting up and managing clinical accreditation schemes.

  • There are still major efforts needed to continuously improve. More focus needs to be put on measuring internal processes, costs, and components of quality other than accuracy. Documentation needs to be regularly updated, methods for incorporating Big Data developed, and flexibility improved so that adaptive methods based on paradata can be used.
  • it takes regular management involvement and procedures to be in place for it to succeed
  • Measurements are vital, but they are not the goal. This will require re-focusing on improving internal processes. It also implies recognizing the need to track costs as a component of quality.

  • While it will continue to be important for NSIs to increase their use of administrative data and the many sources of Big Data, these will rarely be able to be used as stand-alone sources. More often these sources will need to be combined with well-designed survey data to produce a blended, improved product.

How do different communities create unique identifiers? - Lost Boy - 0 views

  • They play an important role, helping to publish, structure and link together data.
  • The simplest way to generate identifiers is by a serial number.
  • the Ordnance Survey TOID identifier is a serial number that looks like this: osgb1000006032892. UPRNs are similar.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Some serial numbering systems include built in error-checking to deal with copying errors, using a check digit.
  • The second way of providing unique identifiers is using a name or code.
  • These are typically still assigned by a central authority, sometimes known as a registration agency, but they are constructed in different ways.
  • Encoding information about geography and hierarchy within codes can be useful. It can make them easier to validate.
  • It also mean you can also manipulate them,
  • But encoding lots of information in identifiers also has its downsides. The main one being dealing with changes to administrative areas that mean the hierarchy has changed. Do you reassign all the identifiers?
  • some identifier systems look at reducing the burden on that central authority.
  • federated assignment. This is where the registration agency shares the work of assigning identifiers with other organisations.
  • Another approach to reducing dependence on, and coordination with a single registration agency, is to use what I’ll call “local assignment“.
  • A simplistic approach to local assignment is “block allocation“: handing out blocks of pregenerated identifiers to organisations which can locally assign them.
  • Here the registration agency still generates the identifiers, but the assignment of identifier to “thing” is done locally.
  • A more common approach is to use “prefix allocation“. In this approach the registration agency assigns individual organisations a prefix within the identifier system.
  • One challenge with prefix allocation is ensuring that the rules for locally assigned suffixes work in every context where the identifier needs to appear.
  • In distributed assignment of identifiers, anyone can create an identifier. Rather than requesting an identifier, or a prefix from a registration agency, these systems operate by agreeing rules for how unique identifiers can be constructed.
  • A hash based identifier takes some properties of the thing we want to identify and then use that to construct an identifier.
