Template uptake by CCGs and General Practices
In order to track the use of the Future Planning Template anonymous information is collected each quarter by the Hampshire Health Record informatics team.
Since 2017 these reports have shown figures for each CCG, with anonymised general practices and any counts of less than 5 redacted to ensure complete practice and patient confidentiality. Individual CCGs are able to receive reports with practices in their area identified, however the HHRA Information Governance team will only provide these figures to a CCG once they are assured that practices have consented to this identification.
Neither report produces any patient identifiable data.

Additional Information added to patient Summary Care Records by Hampshire Practices - 2017 to the present.
For practices already using alternative End of Life or Avoiding Unplanned Admissions templates, do not feel you have to move to using our template. Any EoL or AUA coded information you add to your templates will also be counted by the report. We just hope that you think the Future Planning Template is better, and that you switch to using it to make your very busy lives a little bit easier!
The impact of COVID 19 and the need for Treatment Escalation Planning
Hopefully we will never see a graph like this in the future. With deployment of the Future Planning template V 3.3 to every practice across Hampshire in April 2020, to support recording of patient wishes and preferences, it proves many more clinicians can engage with Advance Care Planning than may have done so in the past.
How to encourage increased use of Future Planning by practices.
Allowing all to record their care preferences and wishes.
To be fair figures will need to be expressed as activity rate per 1000 practice population, which our anonymisation doesn't allow.
Reports are anonymised for the Future Planning team, however your CCG can see who you are!
