Assessing the impact of public health skills on the key responsibilities of Primary Care Trusts health improvement through provision of care, commissioning of services and partnership engagement
Primary Care Trusts health improvement through provision of care, commissioning of services and partnership engagement. How does a Strategic Health Authority know if public health skills have been used to underpin these responsibilities?
The aim of the survey is to assess the impact of public health skills on the key responsibilities of PCTs.
A questionnaire for Assessment of Organisational Effectiveness was adapted from Quinn and sent to five PCTs, Trent SHA and Finance Directors of NHS Trusts. Due to insufficient responses only Erewash PCT and Nottingham City PCT were included in the assessment. Received data was computed and pointed out on radar graphs.
The profiles of the graphs for front line staff were held up against the national health improvement indicators. The results did not show up a link between the cultural graphs for front-line staff and the health improvement indicators. The framework was not able to show a connection between organizational culture and health improvement indicators. However,
- The number of questionnaires sent out and returned have been low.
- The selection of respondents biased.
- The number of indicators comparable low.
- The number of years comparable few and the differences between the 2002 and 2003 indicators for Erwash PCT and Nottingham PCT to weak.
