To support COVID planning and recovery, all NHS provider trusts with operating theatre facilities should submit to Theatre Productivity Data Collection (https://dcfdatacollections.improvement.nhs.uk) on a fortnightly basis.

The Model Health System will be updated with benchmarked insights at system and provider level three working days after each submission cycle. New measures, metrics and insights will be based on user feedback from the Pathway Improvement Programme and GIRFT teams, initially focusing on priority specialties; orthopaedics, ophthalmology, cardiology, ENT, general surgery, gynaecology and urology.
