Background – Why DART?
• >30,000 2-week wait referrals from primary care in last 12 months
• 2016 audit – 48% referrals don’t meet minimum criteria
• Boxes not ticked can lead to delayed investigation / assessment
• Concerns from practices regarding delayed referrals / patient safety

Plan
Preliminary analysis of process variation at x11 GP practices:
•To process forms: ‘Clicks’ mean = 20, ‘Time’ mean = 96secs
•8 practices had recent SEA due to delayed/missed referrals
•GPs regard Word forms difficult to access / time consuming
•Handover (‘task’) issues most common reason for delays
