Providing up to date information about health and wellbeing in Cardiff and Vale

Find out how Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board are building a database to share information and shine a light on what is happening across our region.

What is the Cardiff and Vale Regional Information Sharing Site?

The Cardiff and Vale Regional Information Sharing Site (RISS) is an online resource that brings together key, anonymised data from the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, Cardiff Council, Vale of Glamorgan Council and third sector partners. One of its key purposes is to provide data-driven insights into the local health and social care ‘system’ to support planning and decision-making.

There are four components to the RISS:

  • Population profiles: Key data and published reports relating to the characteristics and needs of our local population and care market.
  • Journeys through health and social care: Explorations into those who enter our local health and social care system, the nature of this demand and usage, and impact of local change initiatives.
  • Regional Outcomes Framework (ROF): The eight regionally agreed outcomes and corresponding indicators as a way of understanding and evidencing the impact of the local health and social care system on the wellbeing of our population.
  • Whole System ‘Viewers’/Dashboards: Currently under development, this section will hold the whole system dashboards or ‘viewers’ of interest to the RPB. This will include viewers that track and help evidence the impact of new initiatives against the status quo. 

How can I access the RISS?

The RISS and the anonymised data that sits behind it is held on a password protected website to enable quick, easy and safe access. If you have an interest in improving the health and wellbeing of local citizens in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, , please contact: hsc.integration@wales.nhs.uk

Who do I contact with any questions or concerns?

We would love to hear how you are using the RISS. If you have any feedback, queries or concerns, please let us know by emailing the RPB team: hsc.integration@wales.nhs.uk.

“This platform gives a unique insight into patient’s journey and outcome through health and care systems .  From an organisational perspective, the ability to understand the patients journey through various systems not only informs where we can support change but also how we can measure the impact of that change both to our organisation and to the wider system.”

About the ROF

The Cardiff and Vale ROF sets out the key goal, principles and values, strategic aims and eight outcomes of the Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board.

OUTCOME DEFINITIONS

Increasing time for people to live their lives

This System Level Outcome is about understanding and avoiding the time that the system wastes for citizens. It includes delays for receiving support, making people go through unnecessary hoops and generally leaving them too long in limbo, for example waiting to be discharged from care back to their own homes.

Our Priorities

DECHRAU’N DDA
STARTING WELL

We want every child in Cardiff and Vale to have the opportunity to thrive. Our work focuses on children in vulnerable situations and the services that support them.

AGEING WELL

We know how hard it can be to find help when people need it the most. We want to make sure there is community support to help people stay as healthy as possible so they can carry on doing the things that matter most to them.

BYW’N DDA
LIVING WELL

As a Partnership we have worked together with people with a learning disability, their families, carers and the third and independent sector to produce a clear direction for the planning and delivery of adult learning disability services across the region over the next five years.
