Proportion of requests for support from new clients that resulted in short term care, for adults aged 18 and over (11541) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the proportion of requests for support from new clients aged 18 and over which resulted in some form of short term care. Short term care includes 'Short Term Care: to maximise independence (ST-MAX)' and 'Short Term Care: other short term'. ST-MAX includes all episodes of support provided that are intended to betime limited with the intention of maximising the independence of the individual and reducing / eliminating their need for ongoing support by the local authority. At the end of the support a review or assessment for ongoing care will take place to determine what will follow. Other short term care includes all episodes of support that are intended to betime limitedwithout intending to maximise independence / reduce the need for ongoing support. An example of this might be a short term intervention for a younger adult with impaired mobility following an operation, but expected to make a full recovery without any long term intervention.
Each request for support can only have one sequel counted - this is the response made to the client in terms of any type of support provided. These are applied using a hierarchy of sequels choosing the first which applies according to the order which flows from Short Term Support to Maximise Independence (ST-MAX); long term support; 100% NHS funded; end of life; ongoing low level; short term other; universal / signposted services; no services (deceased); no services (other). A new client is defined as an individual who was not in receipt of long term support at time of the request. This is expressed as a proportion of all requests for support from new clients aged 18 and over.
Any comparison using this data from 2020/21 and 2021/22 must take into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both activity numbers and spending. The differing scale of cases around the country, when the impacts occurred, and financial support provided will also affect any comparison between authorities. This makes any form of comparative analysis much more complicated and potentially misleading.
