Specialised Services Quality Dashboard: Indicators submitted by CRANE
Indicators submitted by CRANE: For quarterly Specialised Services Quality (SSQ) Dashboard data submissions
This page summarises information about the data provided by CRANE to the Quality and Nursing Team in NHS England and NHS Improvement, on behalf of cleft teams, for quarterly SSQ Dashboard data submissions.
- For guidance from NHS England about these quarterly SSQ Dashboard indicators, please view the information for the ‘Cleft Lip and or Palate Services including Non-cleft Velopharyngeal Dysfunction (VPD) (All Ages)’ on the Specialised Services Quality Dashboards web page.
(1) CRANE currently provides data to the Quality and Nursing Team in NHS England and NHS Improvement for six indicators – detailed below.
Upcoming deadlines for data submission to CRANE, for the 2024/25 SSQ Dashboards, are as follows:
- Friday 6 September 2024 (for Q1 2024/25)
- Friday 6 December 2024 (for Q2 2024/25)
- Friday 14 March 2025 (for Q3 2024/25)
- Friday 20 June 2025 (for Q4 2024/25)
Below we provide downloadable summaries for each of the six indicators for which CRANE provides data.
- These specify key information such as the cases that contribute to the numerator and denominator, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the CRANE data fields used to report data for each indicator.
SSQ Dashboard submissions are only made by cleft teams in England and Wales. CRANE therefore excludes Scotland and Northern Ireland registrations from reporting.
