Key performance indicator (KPI) data reports for NHS population screening programmes for financial year 2020 to 2021.
Documents
Details
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are used to measure how the NHS screening programmes are performing and aim to give a high-level overview of programme quality.
The files published each quarter are:
- antenatal and newborn (ANNB) KPI data tables
- young person and adult (YPA) KPI data tables
- accompanying data reports
- cross-programme summary dashboard of KPI performance
These high-level reports present the KPI data for all 11 national screening programmes. The NHS screening programmes selected the KPIs to define consistent performance measures for a selection of public health priorities. They give a high-level overview of the quality of screening programmes at important points on the screening pathway.
KPIs contribute to the quality assurance of screening programmes but are not, in themselves, enough to quality assure or performance manage screening services.
Screening KPIs are contained within the Section 7a agreements between the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England and in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF).
These reports focus on the most recent data collected with national comparisons to quarterly performance over the past 3 to 4 years.
