You don't get a blog post for ages, then they all come at once. Today we can announce the release of our new CHC metrics for ICS customers.

How's this for a responsive display?

The other week we were lucky enough to have a post-Covid visit to one of our customers, where we learned more about how their part of the NHS uses the public data sets PublicView stores and processes.

Today's new software release includes additional "fixed" reports for SOF and HCPS groups of metrics, plus improvements to ICS metrics for CCGs.

Some ICS customers have quite a lot of providers and CCGs in their remit, so we needed to make a tiny adjustment to our user interface to accommodate that.

We're adding CCG metric support for our ICS users, as a step towards supporting "Places" in due course.

We've made lots of progress on the ICS Beta, with the service getting very close to production release now. The screen shot shows some ICS specific metrics updated overnight as they were published by the government.

We've lots of new metrics this week, including these below and a number of ICS metrics available only to ICS beta users (see below).

ICS Metrics are different from simple Aggregated Trust Metrics. Public View produces both, but it's important to know which is which and why.

Over the two years that Public View has been delivering insight to NHS acute providers, we have had multiple requests to provide the same performance monitoring and benchmarking service to Mental Health, Ambulance, Community and Primary care providers.

Over the past year we received a lot of feedback on how useful Public View would be at an ICS level. We've been busy through lockdown developing new software, and the new Public View ICS product is now in Beta test, with release expected in the next month or so.

We're preparing to fully support the new ICS structures, and are following closely organisation and structure changes in our metrics.
