Consider accessing more advanced cluster population profiles

  • Aggregate GP practice lists for a combined picture of additional population characteristics of local interest. For example, to identify specific groups of vulnerable persons, or others who may benefit from services commissioned or provided at the cluster or pan-cluster planning group level.
  • Segmentation tools that permit risk stratification (adjusted for case mix) can provide much richer intelligence on care needs and patterns of resource utilisation for particular patient cohorts than is provided through traditional population profiling; such a tool is being rolled out in all health boards.
