How can we capture information and intelligence on the outcomes that matter for people living in care homes?
Background
The Care Home Data Review (CHDR) was a multi-agency (Scottish Government, Public Health Scotland, and Care Inspectorate) review of the national data landscape relating to care homes for adults. The report from the first phase of the Care Home Data Review outlined a number of recommendations around ensuring a coherent and insightful suite of data collections, reducing the burden on data providers and meeting the existing and emerging needs of data users. Work on implementing the recommendations from the review is being taken forward by the Care Home Data Working Group, with representatives from across the care home sector. There are also opportunities for the research sector to help develop care home data through, for example, methodology development.
