SHAPE provides information to both commissioners and providers on quality indicators such as pre-operative stay, the proportion of day case procedures, excess lengths of stay, multiple admissions and weekend discharging and its clinical database can identify hospital care that may be more appropriately delivered in other settings closer to patients’ homes, Thus underpinning the national priority of Transforming Community Services.
SHAPE also contains QoF Indicators and can highlight the performance of individual practices in a simple visual way.
In relation to Public Health, SHAPE contains information that can be used by PCTs, GP commissioning Consortia and Local Authorities to support Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and to identify local priorities for health improvement.
SHAPE can help to improve service access by providing detailed population and needs profiles of service catchment areas and can also help to determine the optimum location for new facilities, and assess the service access implications of new housing development proposals.
