Medical Profiles

The first medical profile was made available to NHS Boards on 15th March 2012 and builds on a methodology developed for the surgical profiles project of which three cycles have been completed since 2006. 

The medical profiles project is a collaborative between Information Services Division and Healthcare Improvement Scotland aimed at encouraging improvements in clinical care by making best use of existing Scotland-wide data sources. The medical profile comprises of a suite of clinical indicators about the medical care provided by an NHS board and its hospitals. It is a tool designed to be interpreted and used locally by those providing patient care in order to stimulate reflection on clinical services; to help them understand where services are working well and to identify opportunities for improving patient care.

Integral to the process is an ongoing dialogue with each NHS Board, facilitated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, about how they are interpreting and using the data locally.

One chapter within the medical profile is dedicated to Renal Medicine and the following indicators were sourced through the Scottish Renal Registry. 

  • Patients on dialysis who are receiving peritoneal dialysis
    Patients on dialysis who are receiving home haemodialysis
    Patients on haemodialysis using arteriovenous access
    Patients on haemodialysis who have a staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia
    Renal Replacement Therapy (1-Year Mortality)
    Renal Replacement Therapy (5-Year Mortality)
    Dialysis patients on waiting list for kidney transplant
    Waiting time from start of RRT to listing for kidney transplant

The chapter can be downloaded from the Medical Profiles website:http://www.indicators.scot.nhs.uk/MedicalProfiles/Index.htm

A commentary on the chapter was provided on behalf of the Scottish Renal Registry, click here.
