July 3rd Webinar | 10:30am UK | Health and Government Sector | Duration 1 Hour
Topic of Discussion | Using a Local Information System (LIS) to address needs of Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
Stockport MBC and Stockport PCT have completed the first stage of their JSNA to pull together all relevant information, undertake analyses and submit their response. This work utilised their existing Local Information System, Stockport Profiling Live, to speed up the process of pulling together relevant data down to small area levels. For the next stage that involves embedding JSNA in the commissioning process they are seeking to move away from a reliance on static documents to support live data reporting. They are currently working in a number of areas to tune their data sharing platform to make this as effective as possible for this purpose.
The JSNA is just one example of many multi-partner strategic initiatives that require a common and consistent evidence-base. Even for those not directly involved in this JSNA process, this online seminar is of relevance in demonstrating the value of data exchange and reporting tools within local partnerships.
