harmonising the data for blood science, by excluding the bias introduced by including Regional Immunology Laboratories in the Blood Science
In my hospital we have a regional Immunology department that does 7% of the work in blood science for 29% of the budget. When we compare the regional immunology productivity to its peers, their productivity is close to the median. However in Model Hospital the Regional Immunology data is bundled into blood science. The effect is that the Blood Science data in my organisation looks far worse than those blood science departments that do not have an immunology department. Thus, can we make the Blood Science harmonised to include Biochem, Haem and BT. This would allow trus comparisons between departments

Alignment with GIRFT metrics
The following statement is on the GIRFT website: "Trust data is uploaded to the Model Hospital portal, which will be the gateway for accessing GIRFT information for all providers and commissioners."
There appears to be very limited GIRFT information on the Model Hospital. Is there a plan for this to change? I can only find information on ENT and urology, which is 16/17 data.
I would find it easier to promote Model Hospital and GIRFT if there was better linkage between the two.

Add dates to notifications
Add a date to a notification, so that I can see which are most recent and which have changed since last time I checked.

It would be useful to understand somewhere on the front page what data sources have been used and for what time period
It would be useful to understand somewhere on the main Trust page what data sources have been used and for what time period. For example I thought that Reference Costs 17/18 had been loaded in but I can't see any metrics based on it for our Trust. I know that you can see the source when you drill down on each individual metric but if I'm specifically looking for metrics from a specific dataset it could take me a while to find it.

Full titles for metrics displayed on hover-over
Longer metric titles do not fully display on the Model Hospital, and should be displayed in full when you hover over a shortened metric title.

Allow use of mean averages also
Allow comparison of Mean averages as well as Medians. Different types of averages are useful in different scenarios. A toggle switch would be graet

Send automatic updates when changes are made
It would be helpful if the system could send out an automatic update when an update is made, rather than users of the system having to check back to see what has been updated. It would also be helpful if areas that have been updated were highlighted in some way when a user signs in to the system.

From now on, we will be emailing all registered users weekly to keep everybody up to date on the latest releases. We are also looking at ways in which we can highlight the most recent updates within the site, but we hope that for now this is a step in the right direction.
Best wishes,
The Model Hospital team -
