TAT for imaging
Can a more meaningful summary metric for report TAT be used from the Imaging data collection? Maybe an average e.g. median in days or percentage reported on within x days. The current maximum TAT does not seem to be very helpful

Want a index of staff costs per hr of service delivery
GP population 500,000 but staff costs driven by delivering 24/7 services on 3 sites- ie 72 hrs Biochemistry per 24hr. This causes a bias in my apparent staffing costs. It also mens that it is difficult to compare with other Trusts.
Suggest model: onsite delivery = 24/24. and if old fashioned on-call periods = average of hours claimed.1 vote -
more granuarity on Clinical Scientist disciplines eg Medical Physics, Bioengineering etc
It would be very good to see all the workforce planning and activity data separated into disciplines as granular as possible. Radiotherapy physics is very different from Diagnostic Physics. It si very hard to make use of the data if it combines departments.

Collect the same data for Cellular Pathology?
Cellular pathology activity figures are suspect - for example Isle of Wight reports a quarterly test activity of 114,000. Isle of Wight serves a population of 140,000, so pretty much everyone on the island has 4 histology samples taken per year - really?
UHB reports an annual cellular pathology activity in excess of 1 million tests - really?
I suspect some people are giving annual workload as quarterly, some counting slides, some counting blocks, some counting pots received and some counting the number of cases through the door.
Without a defined unit to count and accurate checking the data is…1 vote -

Show cellular pathology costs split by disciple
At the moment cellular pathology costs and activity is reported as a single figure but this consists of a number of sub-disciplines. It would be useful to see these costs and activity split into each of the sub-disciplines as well as the overall cellular pathology cost.

Granularity of pathology by specialty
In the CS lines compartment could you possibly develop data that shows the radiology by modality test type type, pathology by modality and drugs use for each trust?
