Care navigation is a person-centered approach that helps primary care patients move through the health and social care system smoothly. It involves reception staff and care navigators signposting patients to the most appropriate care option.

Patients had more choice and access to services, staff experienced increased job satisfaction, and GPs saved approximately 1314 hours over 9 months through reduced inappropriate appointments.

HSCIC/ESR Data Quality / Data Standards Road Shows 2015/16
The Health and Social Care Information Centre has hosted a series of road shows jointly with the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) Central Team and Health Education England to highlight developments in NHS workforce information, data standards and data quality.
Here are the slides presented at the fourth event, held at the Taunton Rugby Club, Taunton on 25th February 2016.
Data quality is all about collaborative working with a shared purpose and this is the main driver behind our road shows during 2015/16. Any efforts to improve data quality should have mutual benefits and should provide a platform for discourse between all involved. Collectively we can ensure that the data that is used to inform decisions about the workforce at local, regional and national level is as accurate as possible. Good data quality can't guarantee good decisions are made, but poor data quality will definitely increase the likelihood of poor decisions and poor outcomes.

Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life.

And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
