The non-executive director’s guide to NHS data: part one – NHS Confederation
This briefing is the first in a new series of guides to be launched by the NHS Confederation in association with healthcare intelligence provider CHKS.  The guides are for non-executive directors (NEDs) and aim to show how data can be used to drive improvement, provide effective oversight and support the transformation of care. The first guide considers data in acute care settings. It will be followed by a further three publications over 2017/18.


Towards an effective NHS payment system
The Health Foundation and NHS Providers have published Towards an effective NHS payment system: eight principles.  This report examines how current payment systems impact on those providing care to patients and identifies eight principles that a payment system should meet if it is to support providers deliver high quality care.  The eight principles are: clear purpose; realistic expectations about impact; national consistency with local flexibility; appropriate, aligned incentives; high quality data; balance between complexity of design and ease of use; independent oversight and support; and time to embed and evaluate systems.


Medical exposure to radiation
The Care Quality Commission has published IR(ME)R annual report 2016.  This annual report sets out CQC activity relating to the enforcement of The Ionising Radiation (Medial Exposure) Regulations 2000.  It provides the number and type of notification received from providers when patients received exposures of radiation that were much greater than intended during 2016.


Briefing on party conferences: health
NHS Providers has published Briefing on the 2017 party conferences which sets out the key health-related announcements made by the parties at their autumn conferences and the main discussion points from the roundtable discussions hosted by NHS Providers.
