Scope

The Welsh Core Indicators also known as the Community Nursing Indicators collects the following information at the end of March each year:

 

% of children under 5 years on Health Visitor caseloads who are 'in need'.

 

% of leg ulcers treated by RGNs in the District Nurse team and healing within 6 months.

 

% of patients requiring more than 1 visit per day by District Nurse Service.

 

% of patients with pressure sores grade III/IV

 

% of patients discharged home from hospital care for care by District Nurse service with inadequate discharge care packages.

 

Following a review of the Welsh Core Indicators a decision was made to discontinue collection of all indicators, apart from Community Nursing Indicators (which are being collected, with unchanged data definitions) commencing from March 2004.
