East Sussex Whole System Barometer indicators

Background

A small dashboard of indicators drawn from existing published performance reporting across each sector are chosen by the East Sussex Health and Social Care Executive Group, because they are each thought to give a useful guide as to how well we are functioning as a health and care system. This focusses on operational issues and pressures, and enables assurance of delivery. The dashboard also helps inform our priorities for changes to the way we deliver integrated services, which is managed through our Oversight Boards as it provides a picture of where we have relative strengths, weaknesses and opportunities, and the overall expected impact of any changes to care models and pathways that is in train.
