Clinical Information Analysis Programme
The Clinical Information Analysis programme (CIA) commenced in Buckinghamshire in 1999 in collaboration with the National Casemix Office. It was further developed as a joint initiative between the Thames Valley Cancer Network Information Team and the Oxford Cancer Intelligence Unit (OCIU) and has evolved in line with the introduction of cancer networks and developments in NHS information strategy.
The geographical coverage of the programme in 2005-06 extended to a population of four million residents in Thames Valley and Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Cancer Networks.
The programme provided clinical data on all solid tumours and their clinical management. Patient level data from disparate sources are translated into a consistent currency, validated clinically and analysed. Analyses covered:
- Incidence and stage at diagnosis
- Major surgery
- Radiotherapy
- Chemotherapy
- Survival and place of death.
Tumour site reports were compiled annually to demonstrate patterns of disease and all modalities of treatment for PCT populations. The programme supported the monitoring of compliance with national guidance and local initiatives. It also enables benchmarking of treatment patterns between cancer centres.
The CIA programme will be fully integrated with the National Radiotherapy Dataset (RTDS) and Chemotherapy Intelligence Unit (CIU).
Archived reports are available from this website to registered NHS users, in Acrobat format. If you would like to obtain access, or would like further information, please contact us on 01865 334700 or email us.
