Calculating and reviewing your service yield
22 Jun
Following the news about the paediatric departments highlighted with the lower yields in England, BAA would encourage you to review your yield report from Smart4Hearing. Step-by-step instructions on how to do this and a S4H guidance document are below. Last year, BAA held a webinar with members of the NHSP team about Smart4Hearing and paediatric audiology data. The recording is available below to watch again.
To work out your services yield:
- In Smart4Hearing, generate ‘outcome report 1 – screen referral and yield’.
- Open the ‘Summary’ tab
- Take the number in cell B69 (total yield)
- Take the number in cell B8 (total records in the site)
- Perform the following calculation (Total Yield/Total Records in site) x 1000
- The expected figure is around 1.75.
While service yield can be affected by various factors, we would encourage investigation of a yield significantly below 1.75.
This investigation may include a review and cleanse of data in Smart4Hearing and an audit of infant diagnostics.
