Minutes:
The meeting received a presentation on the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) which is due to go live on the BMBC website tomorrow.
It was noted the JSNA is a statutory undertaking of the council and the CCG and is structured around our Integrated Care Outcomes Framework (ICOF) which provides a clear view of our success as an Integrated Care System in improving the health and wellbeing of our local population and transforming the way the health and care system operates.
It was noted the JSNA is ‘live’, and will be subject to continual updates, the latest IMD data being cited as an example of how recently published data will be featured on the site.
It was noted the JSNA website is a ‘1 stop shop’ for all health and wellbeing assessment related information and helps tell the story from ‘what the problems are’ to ‘what is being done about them’, whilst explaining the resources and help available.
It was suggested that in the future it would be helpful to imbed people’s stories as these are often more effective than pie charts in communicating messages about how well the system is working.
The Board commented on how useful it will be to use this information to also counter health related misconceptions and provide information that elected Members might use to engage in debates specific to their wards
It was suggested the JSNA also provides the opportunity to take deep dives in specific matters of note, linked to monitoring integrated care outcomes
The meeting was also provided with an insight into how the JSNA will feature on the BMBC website in the future as part of the new iBarnsley initiative. It was confirmed the BMBC communications team have developed a press release to support the launch of the web portal.
Members thanked Rebecca and Joe for all their work in bringing the JSNA to life.
Compliments on the clarity, navigability and accessibility of the website’s design were received.
RESOLVED
(i) That the Board gives its approval to the publishing of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment;
(ii) That consideration is given to building in people’s stories into the JSNA framework.
