Amongst the many outputs produced by YHPHO we have a number of tools aimed at Health Information Professionals and these include;
Please note that this tool has been designed to be used by analysts and people without an analytical background may need to seek advice prior to using it. Once you have completed stages 1-4 in this sheet, click on the sheet called 'Results' to see diabetes prevalence estimates.
The data below gives estimates of the number of people age 16 years or older who have diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed) adjusted for age, sex, ethnic group and deprivation. As with all estimates there is a degree of uncertainty around the data presented below. The lower and upper uncertainty limits define the range of values in which it is plausible that the true prevalence of diabetes lies.
A Diabetes Community Health Profile – an overview is available for every PCT in England. It is designed to provide an overview of the key areas of diabetes care and highlight issues for further investigation. It can be used to benchmark against other PCTs and provides a starting point for needs assessment work. The profiles have been produced under the auspices of the National Diabetes Information Service (NDIS) which is a collaboration of diabetes related organisations.
The Diabetes Data Directory aims to improve access and understanding of diabetes tools and datasets. Search by tool/dataset or find out about the tools/datasets that can help to answer specific questions.
Due to technical reasons, you can only access a zipped version of the DOVE tool here. If you do not have the necessary facilities to access the tool here please contact Naomi Holman nh139@york.ac.uk and we will provide you with a copy.
The Diabetes Outcomes Versus Expenditure (DOVE)2008/09 tool allows users to compare expenditure on diabetes care with clinical outcomes for a selected PCT, other PCTs with similar populations and all other PCTs.
Please note that one function in this tool does not work in Excel 2007. We are investigating this and will correct it shortly.
Refreshed
2008/09 Health Intelligence Practice Profiles for Yorkshire and Humber.
The Health Poverty Index (HPI) tool aims to provide an overall picture of health poverty in an area, and incorporates a range of measures relating to both ‘root causes’ and ‘intervening factors’ that influence health and health inequalities.
Hospital Episode Statistics downloads.
The life expectancy calculator enables users with death and population data for small areas to calculate life expectancy figures. The template is for an abridged life table using 5-year age intervals with a final age interval of 85+.
A downloadable access database that provides summary data for PCTs and Local Authorities across the country. The tool enables users to create bespoke tables of indicators in the basket based on combinations of indicators and geographical areas.
The PCT Spend and Outcome Factsheets and Tool (SPOT) helps commissioners to link health outcomes and expenditure using programme budgeting, a technique for assessing programmes of care rather than services.
The Public Health Interventions Cost Effectiveness Database (PHICED) is a bibliographic database about the economic and health impacts of alcohol, obesity, physical activity and tobacco.
The small area dataset tool contains a comprehensive suite of key indicators cross matched with indicators already set nationally, including those from Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), National Indicators (NI) and Vital Signs (VS).
Yorkshire and Humber Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Commissioning Health Intelligence Toolkit provides information and intelligence to improve decision-making for high quality, cost effective services.
YHPHO has been working with NHS Y&H pandemic flu planners to provide support for planning for winter pressures. The focus of this work has been using a risk-assessment based approach in primary care.
