Documentation
Description:
This collection is:
• submitted on a daily basis, ensuring that more timely data is available at a national, system and local level
• submitted at a 'record' level, providing more analytical possibilities and expanding potential insights when compared to existing aggregate collections
• allowing submissions to be automated, modernising the data architecture and reducing the reporting burden on providers
• establishing a common pseudonymisation key across with all other collections established by the Faster Data Flows programme, creating a view of the whole patient pathway across care settings
• deployed alongside a data quality dashboard in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) which will help data submitters and the data liaison services team in NHS England gain in-depth understanding of their data quality, driving improvements in the quality of virtual wards data (please see the Virtual Wards FDP DPIA for further information)
• making use data dictionary definitions of data items, driving standardisation of virtual wards data
• allowing key metrics to be calculated based on national definitions, improving consistency of reporting when compared to existing aggregate collections
