  1. National Smoking Cessation Database(Tayside Public Health Network, 1st Mar 06) Linsey Galbraith ISD Scotland

  2. Format • Background to the Database. • About the Database. • Any questions.

  3. ISD (Information Services Division) • Part of NHS Scotland. • National collection/management of health & care information. • Provides information and technical services. • Interpretation and statistical advice.

  4. Partnership Action on Tobacco & Health (PATH) • Set up in June 2002 (part of ASH Scotland). • Funded by Scottish Executive. • Works with key partners to develop and roll out best practice across key areas of training, data collection and evaluation. Also manages support fund of £300,000 per annum for cessation pilots.

  5. The ‘minimum dataset’ • PATH were tasked by the SE to lead on data collection for smoking cessation services. • Following consultation, a national ‘minimum dataset’ (MDS) & detailed guidance were produced. • From April 05, health boards should be collecting the MDS, for national monitoring. • Smoking cessation services should have incorporated the MDS into local data collection.

  6. The minimum dataset For all clients entering services and setting a ‘quit date’: • Client profile: age, gender, employment status, pregnant? • Smoking behaviour, interventions received. • Follow-up data at: 1 month, 3 months and 12 months from initial ‘quit date’.

  7. Smoking cessation database • ISD tasked to develop and manage a web-based IT system, or ‘database’. • To aid capture & analysis of client data. • To enable secure electronic transfer of MDS information to ISD for national analysis. • Plus additional data items& functionality to meet local needs.

  9. Local data/functionality: • The minimum dataset questions account for perhaps one third of all questions on the database. • Local use questions include: client contact details; medical history; more on smoking behaviour & interventions received. • Local statistical reports & client listings. • Client letter generation (e.g. people due follow-up).

  10. Local areas need to: • Have paperwork in place to capture minimum dataset information. • Agree procedures for undertaking & recording follow-ups. • Identify participating services & personnel requiring access to database (ISD user manual and on-site training available).

  11. Where are we now? • Database in place and health boards either using direct, or agreed data transfer from local systems. • Database Project Board set up. • Currently redeveloping the Database.
