Informatica's Child Immunisation Audit Bundle

Informatica's Audit+ software is a platform developed specifically with PCT needs in mind which can help drive change at practices through the delivery of topical performance reporting and practice management automation:

• Gives a PCT real-time performance management capabilities, allowing the quick assessment of practice performance and the identification of trends by monitoring change
• Reports on HPA COVER and the Operating Framework Vital Signs (VSB10) data with zero effort
• Enables practices to easily identify, recall and vaccinate patients according to the Chief Medical Officer's immunisation schedule
• Efficiently analyses patient data in any clinical system to produce consistent and accurate management information
• Automates the on-going data extraction, analysis and collection with no need for PCT staff to visit practices to install software or run queries
• Removes the data analysis burden from practices and replaces existing slow and labour intensive processes such as manual data collection and MIQUEST queries.

With outstanding clinical system compatibility, the Informatica software is easy to install via download and has no impact on existing practice systems. Implementation begins with automatic analysis of patient data from every practice system, generating patient lists for those needing vaccinations, practice by practice. Crucially, PCT-level business intelligence is available over the web, extracted daily. Dashboard charts monitor GP performance; Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) monitor overall performance, giving a real-time view across the PCT.

Redbridge PCT

Since October 2008, the Informatica Child Immunisation software has been in use by practices across Redbridge PCT where it has contributed towards improvements in child vaccination rates. The web reporting portal has been used by the PCT to provide centralised analysis of vaccination rates at practices. The software has been a catalyst for improving the quality of the data available for analysis and empowering Redbridge to monitor and analyse accurate aggregated data centrally which in turn has led to more informed decision making.

By using Informatica’s software, we are able to see real-time information on our practices. This powerful tool is able to give us up to date and relevant snapshots of immunisation and MMR performance rates within the PCT on demand. We can easily spot trends and quickly identify any problem areas. We have been making better informed decisions and our child immunisation and MMR rates have improved significantly over the period since the installation of Informatica’s product. The most significant improvement has been attained through improving quality of coding of data in GP practices.
