Following extensive testing, the next version of the iBID software collection tool is being deployed. Current services should aim to have deployed and be using v1.1 by the COP 15th March 2013. Please contact the iBID office on 0161-291-6323 to arrange loading of the software on your site. The intention is to allow the collection of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and reporting of these at the end of each quarter of 2013/14.

The latest analysis of site specific reports has now been uploaded and are ready for use from the Downloads section under your site specific log-in details. These log-in details are available from your Burns Network Manager.  The use of a site specific password, or specific access rights using a registered name and password is necessary to gain access.

This set of reports are the last from the current version of software. The new software deployment is underway but we are unable to run a full set of reports until all burn services are using the new system. It is hoped the new set of reports will be uploaded by the end of March 2013.

Some general reports are accessible to non-registered / public users. The design of burn service reports for public use is under way and drafts have been circulated to stakeholders for comment. It is expected that the national group will consider when and how to publish these.

Please take a look and suggest any changes that might be helpful. . .

A more recent addition to the iBID Reports is Report (V) which is concerned with the monthly volume of data flow into the iBID central server from each burn service. In addition, there is Report (Ec), which gives an indication of any systematic problems in data entry and delivery. Any identified problems will be dealt with according to cause - some will be local and may need resolution by the service with support from the Burns Network Manager, while others may represent technical problems requiring support from the iBID team centrally.

As part of the NNBC work programme, it has been agreed to commission a national review of the quality of care and avoidable or remediable factors associated with severe burns in children in England and Wales. The original scoping for the project and the planned project validation relied on analysis from iBID.

CMACE were originally commissioned to work with the NNBC on this project but CMACE have gone into liquidation as reported on this site in early 2011.  It was agreed that an alternative provider should be sought against the original project scope.

PICaNet were the only organisation to submit a full proposal for delivering this work in line with the original project brief. The project will be delivered over 5 years, with a project cost of £85,000. These costs are comparable to the original costs of the CMACE project.
