TABLE OF CONTENTS


Introduction

The trend chart feature enables you to easily monitor your activity progress over time at both the practice and group levels. Additionally, you can set targets to help achieve your goals and maintain your progress.


Select View to open the further breakdown on the single report page.



The trend tab will be selected by default.


You can view any organisation in the group by selecting the organisation in the left hand panel. Click on organisation again to de-select and return to group-level view. 


The date period and type of graph (bar or line) can be adjusted as needed.


Please Note: Group-level (i.e. PCN or ICB) trends are calculated from organisations within the group that have accepted the data sharing agreement AND have uploaded data. If you see missing gaps in your PCN data, it is likely not all practices within your group has uploaded data in the same timeframe. 




Targets

Localised targets can now be added to track and compare progress. These targets can be shown in comparison with any contractual target too if applicable. Threshold ranges are always shown with a dotted line. 


To add a local target, select + Add target and enter the start and end dates, along with the start and end values. Click the save icon to include the trend in the view. 



Please Note: You can only add a target for the organisation you are currently logged into. However, you are able to select and view any target that has been set by any organisation within your data sharing agreement.



You are able to add multiple targets for different date periods. For example, you could set a trajectory (from 01/04/22 - 31/03/2023) for your PCN to hit the lower and upper threshold and assess whether you are on target.
