Transcript CSIP WEST MIDLAND’S BRANDING & LOGOS

• Wmrdc activity and outcome
database
• Where did it come from?
•
•
………This project has evolved from a conference that focused on rural
suicide. A recurring theme of that day was that smaller/medium sized
organisations, found it difficult to become commissioned due to not having
the capacity to develop the necessary systems to capture the
information/outcomes that commissioners wanted.
The other issue was that commissioners needed to know that organisations
had robust governance. This comes at a time when the government would
like to see the Third Sector increasing the amount of services they provide
to offer a greater choice to individuals who access services - within a mixed
market economy.
What does it do…?
• What does it do ?………….The
database will support Third Sector organisations
to demonstrate and describe their value, cost
effectiveness and outcomes. The management
information it will provide will support
organisations in their decisions regarding
funding, finances, service costs, governance and
project delivery/workload.
• The database should be of use to all client
groups within health and social care services,
and is of course free at source and designed to
be user friendly.
HOW WAS IT DEVELOPED ?
• How was it developed ?
• The project has been jointly developed within CSIP West
Midlands with support from the Public Health Group of
Government Office West Midlands, by a project team
spanning specialists from Suicide Prevention, Mental
Health Promotion, Third Sector, Commissioning and
Public Health – along with the organisations who are
currently piloting the resource. (A big thank you to
Worcestershire Lifestyles, the Rural Emotional Support
Team and the Project Group). The database has also
been aligned to, and designed to support the
Department of Health’s draft Third Sector baseline
standards project.

scalable …you are unlikely to run of room
• Can be scaled up further via MY SQL
