Item

Measures of resource use

Additional notes

Audit data collection

Time of hospital personnel (data collectors) recorded for a sub-sample

Job title and the time taken to extract the audit data from case notes or hospital information systems will be collected on the audit data collection form

To minimise burden on sites, the time taken to enter the data onto the NCA system will be estimated by having NCA personnel enter data for a number of ‘mock’ audit cases

Development and delivery of standard content feedback and enhanced content feedback

Time of NCA personnel in designing and populating documents with audit data, including the NCA audit writing groups and associated support

The NCA clinical audit leads and statistician team will record the amount of time taken to perform each of these activities.

Delivery of the enhanced follow-on support

Time of personnel delivering and receiving the enhanced follow-on support, including the web-based toolkit plus telephone support

AFFINITIE team members delivering the enhanced follow-on support will record the duration of telephone support and the use of the online toolkit
