This suite of outcomes serves to focus on improving the experiences and quality of services for people using those services, carers, and their families. These indicators form the basis of the annual reporting requirement for Health and Social Care Partnerships across Scotland. The national indicators will be updated and reported within A&B HSCP’s Integrated Performance Management Framework to provide the national performance position alongside the local service Key Performance Indicators suite. The latest data in relation to 26 HWBOI and MSG Indicators reports 50% on track, with 13 on track and 13 off track. An overview of A&B HSCP’s latest performance against the 26 measures is reported in Appendix 1. It should be noted that reporting periods vary across the suite of national indicator measures, with some measures reported quarterly affected by national reporting data lag.

11 5. CONTRIBUTION TO STRATEGIC PRIORITIES The monitoring and reporting against Key Performance Indicators using the Integrated Performance Management Framework and Dashboard ensures the HSCP can deliver against key strategic priorities. This in-turn is aligned with the Strategic Plan and key objectives. 6. GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS 6.1 Financial Impact Financial performance is evidenced within the IPMF Dashboard ensuring best value as well as evidencing the impact and performance against organisational budget savings. 6.2 Staff Governance Key performance indicators within the IPMF ensure that staff governance requirements continue to be progressed and developed include health and safety, wellbeing and new service redesign and working practices. 6.3 Care and Clinical Governance Clinical Governance and patient safety remain at the core of prioritised service delivery against the new IPMF Dashboard and National Health & Wellbeing Outcomes Indicators. The new governance structure supporting the IPMF ensures that the Clinical & Care Governance Committee remain central to performance improvement. The development of the IPMF is focussed on moving away from previous traditional styles of reporting to a fully collaborative approach with Head of Service and Service Lead commentary. 7. PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY Data used within the performance dashboard is fully accessible in SharePoint with data trends and forecasting are identified to give wider strategic context. This provides the HSCP professional advisors with self –service performance information to inform their role in maintaining professional standards and outcomes. 8. EQUALITY & DIVERSITY IMPLICATIONS The Integrated Performance Management Framework captures relevant indicators used to inform the HSCP E&D work. 8.1 PROTECTED CHARACTERISTICS Performance detailed within this report acknowledges the rights of the Child (UNCRC), Islands. Fairer Scotland, Socio-economic Duty, Equalities - protected characteristics. 9. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES COMPLIANCE Data use and sharing within this report and IPMF performance dashboard is covered within the Argyll and Bute Council & NHS Highland Data Sharing Agreement 10. RISK ASSESSMENT Risks and mitigations associated with performance data sources and reporting are managed and identified within the monthly Performance & Improvement Team- Work Plan.
Page 12
12 10.1 STRATEGIC, OPERATIONAL OR CLIMATE RISK Performance reports are used by operational management to identify service delivery risk and to inform mitigation action accordingly. 11. PUBLIC & USER INVOLVEMENT & ENGAGEMENT Performance reporting is available for the public via Argyll and Bute Council and NHS Highland websites. The IPMF dashboard utilises SharePoint to support manager and staff access across the HSCP. 12.

It is worth noting that performance will be influenced and vary in line with the total number of respondents participating in this voluntary survey. As such, caution should be noted with regards to previous comparison and trends

14 HWBOI - Performance Data notes 55.5% (5 of 9) HWBOI Performance measures reporting as above the national Scotland Rate. *Indicators 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 Calendar year 2023 is used here as a proxy for 2023/24 due to the national data for 2023/24 being incomplete. This is in line with guidance issued by Public Health Scotland which was communicated to all Health and Social Care Partnerships. Using more complete calendar year data for 2023 should improve the consistency of reporting between Health and Social Care Partnerships.

15 Ministerial Steering Group Integration Indicators Data notes 25% (2of 8) MSG Indicators reporting as above the national Scotland rate. MSG Indicators data notes that all MSG measures have increased in the last reporting year. Activity around Emergency Admissions, Unplanned Bed Days, A&E attendances and Delayed Discharge Bed Days all noted performance exceeding pre –Covid levels. This highlights the necessity to consider approaches to alleviate systems pressures around Urgent and Unscheduled Care and expedite hospital flow.
