Challenging Health Inequalities - Support for CCGs

Challenging Health Inequalities: Support for CCGs
NHS England August 2016
  • This guide aims to help CCGs identify areas of variation in access to, and outcomes from, emergency admissions based on levels of deprivation.
  • The analysis is based on two indicators from the CCG Improvement and Assessment Framework: 
    • 106a - Inequality in unplanned hospitalisation for chronic ambulatory care sensitive conditions and 
    • 106b - Inequality in emergency admissions for urgent care sensitive conditions. 
  • It includes a link to the CCG Inequality Indicators tool developed by the University of York, which provides comparative information about the 10 most similar CCGs for unplanned hospitalisation for chronic ambulatory care sensitive conditions. 
  • See CCGs vary widely in how well they deliver healthcare, new measure shows. BMJ 2016;354:i4615 (NHS OpenAthens password required)
