Our team is now dedicating all efforts to process and refresh the costing metrics and opportunities in the Model Hospital as quickly as possible. With this annual data update, Reference Cost data will be replaced with 18/19 National Cost collection (PLICS) data. Users can expect all cost metrics (e.g. Cost per Weighted Activity Unit) to be updated, alongside the headline ‘opportunities’ that are presented on your homepage. We expect the Annual Data refresh to take place over the next month and will update on specific timelines as soon as the data have been processed by our analysts. We understand that the official release of New GIRFT workstreams on the Model Hospital: ENT and Neurosurgery data We now have information and data representing ten of the Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) workstreams live on the Model Hospital.
