Description
This is a joint seminar which will provide an overview of The National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network (NIHR CRN)’s data platform, the SHAPE Atlas and the ARC SHAPE Atlas.
NIHR Open Data ensures research from NIHR funded research is publicly available. It contains datasets prepared by the NIHR Centre for Business Intelligence in conjunction with the NIHR Coordinating Centres and currently contains data sourced from the NIHR Central Commissioning Facility, NIHR Evaluations, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre, and the NIHR Academy. The dataset contains awards funded by NIHR which were active at any time on or after 1st April 2011.
Strategic Health Asset Planning and Evaluation (SHAPE) is a web-based tool designed to inform and support the strategic planning of services. SHAPE seeks to bring key information together from a range of sources to provide an interactive and easy to interpret tool to support the local reconfiguration of services and assets. The PEDS theme is working to build on the existing SHAPE platform to provide NIHR ARC East of England an interactive visual map of the Population in Focus (PiF) areas. The bespoke SHAPE Atlas can be used to map health indicators and ARC activity for each PiF area.
