TRIPS

Transforming Raw Information In Public Services

Michele Chew – Derbyshire County Council

A Brief History of TRIPS

• Brainchild of Mike Charnley-Fisher and CSED• Developed in the East Midlands Region• Now entering Phase 2• If proof of concept is successful, TRIPS will be

considered for potential national adoption by DH, and by the NHS IC as a means to better collect national level data

TRIPS : What is it?• An analytical tool that allows different sources of financial

and activity data to be combined• It contains data from the PSSEX1 Returns from the past 5

years and will allow the new 2009/10 PSSEX1 Return data to be added for analysis

• It allows scenarios to be plotted and set up for regular monitoring

• It permits the identification of patterns of service that can then be further explored in TRACS

• It allows us to see the wood for the trees

TRIPS : Current Developments• TRIPS is being further developed in the context of SIIP and

the National Information Strategy.• A Social Care Quality Outcomes Framework (SCQOF) is

being developed.• A zero based review of statutory returns is currently

under way.• The current phase of TRIPS has four deliverables called

Gateways.• This further development of TRIPS is to be undertaken

with SCQOF and the zero based review in mind.

Current use of TRIPS in Derbyshire

• Tidying up data in complex spreadsheets• Providing in-year unit cost analysis for

monitoring purposes• Identifying trends for future analysis and

target setting

New Analysis Packs

• Further Reporting Packs are in Development in the East Midlands:– In-year PSSEX1 Analysis and creation of PSSEX1

Return– Individual Statements/Personalisation– Re-ablement– Unit Cost Analysis

TRIPS Next Steps

• Completion of Proof of Concept in the East Midlands

• If successful, TRIPS could become a useful local solution for LA analysis and reporting, and play a significant role in the provision of data for national level analysis through the NHS IC's NASCIS solution
