What is the KUBS laboratory benchmarking h ?scheme?

Th K l U i it B h ki S i (KUBS) id• The Keele University Benchmarking Service (KUBS) provides a subscription‐based benchmarking service to NHS Pathology laboratories in the UKPathology laboratories in the UK

• We gather data and produce reports showing:– The number of each test performedThe number of each test performed– The number of staff employed to do these tests– The costs associated with doing these tests– Some quality measures, eg turnaround times achieved– Split into the five major Pathology disciplines (Clinical Biochemistry, 

Haematology Immunology Microbiology and Cellular Pathology)Haematology, Immunology, Microbiology and Cellular Pathology)

• Reports are produced annually, to fit into NHS financial year• Scottish laboratories joined the scheme in 2006/07• Scottish laboratories joined the scheme in 2006/07

Report summary 2011/12p y /

W kl d h i d b d 10% i E l d/NI d i i• Workload has increased by around 10% on average in England/NI, driven in particular by large increases from the Teaching Cluster.  Workload in Scotland has decreased by around 8% on average.  Work done for ‘other NHS laboratories’ has decreased, and with no real change in workload from ‘network’ laboratories it would seem that any workload (and networking) arrangements in Microbiology/Virology are yet to happen.  

• There has been an increase in GP requests per population, and some laboratories in particular have seen a significant increase in GP workloadlaboratories in particular have seen a significant increase in GP workload.  Changing contractual arrangements with GPs, and in particular demand management initiatives that may come into play over the next 12 months, could see a change in GP requesting patterns.

Report summary 2011/12p y /

• Staffing levels are down slightly on average but there have been some large decreases• Staffing levels are down slightly on average, but there have been some large decreases in the percentage change in the Non‐teaching Cluster, where staffing levels are around 8% lower compared with last year.  Consultant level staff (Medical and Clinical Scientist) are down significantly Biomedical Scientists have also decreased in all clustersare down significantly.  Biomedical Scientists have also decreased in all clusters.

• The above changes in staffing and workload have led to an increase in the number of l ff i E l d/NI i h ffi i i hrequests per total staff in England/NI, suggesting that efficiency improvement schemes 

(largely staff reduction) are starting to impact on benchmarking data.  Tests per total staff in Scotland have decreased slightly.

• Costs have increased slightly on average, but there is great variability across laboratories, and in any case the average increase is lower than the rate of inflation, suggesting that laboratories are starting to see a positive impact from cost savings programmes.  This has been driven largely by the decrease in staff, and in actual fact non‐pay costs have increased in all clusters.  The Non‐teaching Cluster in particular 

ld b h d ff l k h d h hwould appear to be having difficulties keeping their non‐pay costs down, which impacts on the overall cost per request.
