New Feature – Population Health Management (PHM) data now added – Part 1

25th Feb 2022

Sorting your searches by deprivation data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS)

This feature is now available and automatically included in our latest version.

This feature is most useful should you need to send invites in batches because your search has many patients - for example weight management or NHS Health Check searches.

Clicking on either header will sort the search by the score and enable you to prioritise those in the highest deciles for either overall deprivation or just health deprivation.

How the scores are calculated by ONS and what they represent

Decile 1 represents the most deprived and Decile 10 represents the least deprived.

A decile is 10% therefore decile 1 represents the most deprived 10% (or decile) of small areas in England and decile 10 represents the least deprived 10% (or decile) of small areas in England.

A small area is not necessarily a single postcode and the scoring index never represents the deprivation score of an individual.

The Deprivation Decile column is an overall ONS scoring covering the following domains and weights for each:

• Income Deprivation (22.5%)

• Employment Deprivation (22.5%)

• Education, Skills and Training Deprivation (13.5%)

• Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%)

• Crime (9.3%)

• Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%)

• Living Environment Deprivation (9.3%)

The Health Decile column solely covers Health Deprivation and Disability.

I am so glad that we as a practice have purchased PatientChase – it has completely revamped our recall system, has been invaluable during flu recall season and more importantly shows us where the ‘holes’ are when we get to near the end of the QoF year. Many thanks!

Jackie Hogg, Clinical Data Manager – The Baffins Surgery, Portsmouth

PatientChase is an excellent product of which I think as soon as you purchase it you will ask yourself ‘how ever did I cope without it?!

This product will make my QOF staff member’s job so much simpler and is a quarter of a QOF point for me

This is exactly what we’ve been looking for

We use PatientChase and find it invaluable, it saves a lot of time and helps us organise our work effectively

As a practice we have relied upon PatientChase to streamline our patient recall system for several years now. I consider this an essential tool
