• Currently – 74 organisations after new take-ups, mergers,

losses and discontinuances– 400k clients processed

• Organisational change• Public Health movement into local authorities

• PCT > Clinical Commissioning Group handover

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES Shared data collection fields Large user base, thus large dataset Local, regional & national reporting ‘One-stop shop’ system provision &

support Clear and demonstrable HT benefits Knowledge sharing

System development too slow DCRS not localisable enough

OPPORTUNITIES THREATS Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) Community Information Dataset

(CIDS) Greater system flexibility Enabling DCRS for additional services

NHS organisational change National debt! Loss of national steering group

Where we are now… !!

Core principal…

• First and foremost…– Our core principal is to retain system ‘status

quo’ for those that don’t want change.– Health Trainers remains our core business.– Our SLA commitment is our guarantee.

Localisation Agenda Strategy

• More localisable drop-down lists• System-wide disable/enable/mandatory options– Wellbeing measures– Key health indicator measures– Client details, client contacts, certain assessment

section fields

• Repeat wellbeing/ key health indicator sections at review/ maintenance (as required).

Sounds Great, But When?!• List localisation (PHP goals/ targets – live!)• New wellbeing measures– WEMWBS (under early release now!)– Switch on/off of new or existing measures (Sept)

• Field enable/disable– New fields: Emergency contacts, PAR-Q (Live!)– Existing fields: Switch on/off or mandatory/ non-

mandatory for many existing fields (August)– New question sections as desired…

Certificate National report

Growth in outcome measures

Financial Pressures Strategy

• Base cost reduction of £1k next year• Expansion of system scope to cater for

additional services– Base cost ‘shared’ within an organisation– Greater economies of scale

Service Expansion Strategy

• Support for additional assessment ‘types’• Strategic ‘proof of concept’ work in Oldham– Rollout to four additional services underway– Opportunity for one or two other partnerships

• System re-branding to DCRS• Steady rollout to ensure scalability

Additional Items of Note

• Reports redevelopment– To be kept as similar to present as possible– Fundamental change report amends– Increased filtering options

• Smaller, more rapid software updates rather than big, slow updates

• Our organisation has/ is changing– BPCSSA no longer exists, B’ham & Solihull Cluster

now, CSS or Social Enterprise in future
