The Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire system-wide dataset is a patient-level dataset that links together information across Primary Care, Secondary Care, Mental Health and Community Services for everyone in our region (who have not opted out). The dataset consists of two tables – attributes and activity. The first table contains information regarding patient characteristics, such as demographic information (age and sex), clinical information (long term conditions), socio-economic information (deprivation index) as well as other data like smoking status and social status. The second table contains information regarding patient contacts such as point of delivery (e.g. secondary care, inpatient, elective), specialty (e.g. dermatology), provider, dates, times and cost. This dataset is a key enabler to furthering insight-driven and value-based healthcare across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.
