We propose to collect an aggregated figures on
provider compliance with the proposed Acute Kidney
Injury and Sepsis CQUINs from each provider involved
in the scheme, quarterly for 2015/16, via Unify2. The
objective of this collection is so we can understand
national level compliance with this CQUIN to inform
expectation of in-year funding for providers, policy
evaluation and development in both patient safety and
provider incentive policy areas going forward.

Q20
As set out in the application, we do not expect any set
up costs to be incurred as this will simply be an
additional line to upload to Unify collection which the
trusts concerned are already using for other
collections. The only additional cost will be small
amount of additional staff time to upload the extra
lines. This is accounted for in the application. I would
estimate £7k for the collection for staff costs and that
publication costs will be be zero as it will be webbased. This is not an additional burden to the service
as it will be met internally by NHS England. Although
your figures show that there are currently 64 Acute
Non-Foundation Trusts and 100 Acute Foundation
Trusts the reduced number of 61 Acute NonFoundation Trusts and 81 Acute Foundation Trusts
that we have stated that we intend to collect from
reflects our decision that the collection is not to be
applied to specialist trusts
23. Benefits to
Patients and
the NHS
Information on the national compliance with the AKI
and Sepsis CQUIN will ensure we can understand
expected funding flows for providers in 2015/16 as
well as enable policy evaluation and development in
Proposal for ROCR Approval
patient safety and provider incentive policy areas. For
example, it will help us understand if the there is
provider and CCG level variation in meeting the AKI
standards, whether or not the policy has been
effective in improving AKI discharge summaries and
Sepsis screening and whether financial incentives are
working or if another policy tool is required. Without
national information we will be unable to asses if the
policy is having the desired effect and likely to lead to
improvements in patient outcomes and how providers
are responding to financial incentives.
24. Financial
benefits to
running this
collection
This information supports national financial modelling
and evaluation of the effectiveness of financial
incentives which should inform our policy development
in this area going forward.

33. If the data
was not
collected,
what would
the
consequences
be
We would not have information on overall national
compliance with the CQUINs. This would mean we had
no information on the national flow of funding for
these CQUINs. It would also undermine policy
evaluation and future policy development in these
areas which could have financial and service quality
implications in the future.

38. Method
used to store
the data
The data will be stored in the Unify2 data warehouse.
This is an Oracle based database that sits on N3.
39. Why
sampling is
not used
We want to understand the full national picture across
all providers
40. Details of
any pilots
The proposal to collect aggregate figures from
providers via Unify2 has been informed by the existing
process and the fact that providers are already using
this process for other data submission and therefore
the marginal burden of the additional lines we are
seeking is expected to be minimal. As the application
form sets out this data will be collected locally and
shared between providers and CCGs. This does not
require a BAAS approval and will be subject the 3
yearly review of local collections. This application is
simply seeking approval for this data flow, which will
be occurring anyway, to be uploaded via Unify so we
can access national level data. There will be no
duplication.
