  8. Patient Profiling Looking at; • Practice Population Characteristics • Specified Health / Risk Factors

  9. Practice Population Characteristics • Total GP Population • Profiled Patients – from the age of 16 • Age Structure • Gender • Where they live • Need for Interpreter / Translator • Those that do not Reading any Language • Main Languages Read

  10. Specified Health / Risk Factors • Currently looking at Diabetes, CHD, Smoking and Obesity • Cross referencing – e.g. CHD & Smoking, • Diabetic & Obese • Relating each to age, ethnicity, religion, spread and language • Looking for possible gaps e.g. between male and female in certain age groups

  11. Benefits The benefits to profiling include: • Delivering more relevant information about patients/clients • Improving targeting and performance of services • Helping both the PCT and practitioner better understand their patients/clients • Non personally-identifiable information shared across the different programmes • Access to more up to date information

  12. Conclusion • It is live information about people accessing our PCT. • It can be used to plan, organise and deliver service. • It is only as good as the information put into it. • It is not a magic tool and will not solve general issues. • It is brilliant in identifying / targeting the gaps in population, service, access etc.
