Theatres
Are there any plans to update the metrics on theatre utilisation published under the theatres compartment? This metrics seem to come from a data collection that covered the period to March 2019.

Benchmark how many procedures are carried out in outpatient setting
For some procedures, the debate has moved beyond shifting from inpatient to day case but from day case to outpatients and removing this activity from theatres altogether e.g. hysteroscopy in gynae, minor skin procedures etc. Is there a basket of such procedures and could benchmarking information be available to enable Trusts to identify which providers are making this shift? The split would be inpatient/day case and outpatient for this basket of procedures.

Add Numerator and Denominator for Emergency Readmissions Within 30 Days
Showing the readmission rate is useful - particularly with the benchmarking functionality. However i'm finding it hard to replicate the rates published. Due to the nature of readmissions there are various sources and methodologies used.
Including a Num and Denom would help massively

Include emergency readmissions with length of stay data
Although reducing length of stay is desirable to improve productivity, there may be a risk if length of stay are being reduced beyond a safe level. It would therefore be useful to see emergency readmission rate alongside length of stay for context.

Outpatients data
When will this be available? It would be useful to have benchmarking information on new to follow up ratio’s by specialty.

Add absolute numbers of inpatients
While seeing the percentage of inpatients with an extended length of stay is useful it would also be able to see the absolute number of inpatients on which this is based as a decrease in percentage may be as a result of fluctuations in inpatient numbers rather than a change in performance

Standard shift time vs theatre start time metric
It would be helpful to know the standard shift start time (for Surgeons/Anaesthetists/Nurses) vs. theatre start time.

Add pre-op length of stay by specialty
There is a metric in the Finance and Use of Resources compartment on pre-operative length of stay. It would be useful to see this broken down by specialty and added to the Inpatients compartment.

Further develop the Daily Discharge Ratio
What I need to know is whether my pattern of variation is unusual or not. The national median will tend towards one because it is limited by a fixed bed capacity. Does every trust have the same pattern of variation over time and is it driven by the numerator or the denominator. I need to be able to see the discharges and admissions rather than just the ratio to make any sense of this data.

Inpatient specialty to be defined by discharge specialty
Define inpatient specialty by discharging specialty rather than diagnosis-dominant specialty
