Insights from analysis

Analysis turned data into two service conversations, one pilot, and ruled out one forecast we would not trust yet during definition change.

Promoted · 2026-W21 · Service manager

South team agency spend up 15% but contacts/WTE flat

Evidence: AA-MH-SOUTH-01 WFA 0.82 vs North 0.92; agency £4,400 vs £3,500; contacts/WTE 38 vs 39

Action: Roster review before further agency hire — discuss with South CMHT lead

Under test · 2026-W21 · Clinical lead

DNA rate rising with median wait — recovery slots pilot

Evidence: DNA 8%→11% W10–W21; median wait stable at 12d but long-wait count +32

Action: Pilot DNA recovery slots in South team; review after 4 weeks

Dismissed · 2026-W18 · Performance lead

Naive 4-week backlog forecast unreliable during definition change

Evidence: Forecast overshot by 18% when dashboard referrals used instead of OPT-C

Action: Dismiss forecast for Board; revisit post OPT-C sign-off (M5)

Promoted · 2026-W21 · BI lead

INVALID_TEAM rows inflate East waiting stock

Evidence: VAL-02 fail; 1 INVALID_TEAM row maps to AA-MH-EAST-01 waiting count

Action: Fix crosswalk before capacity meeting — do not allocate agency on bad stock

Parked · 2026-W21 · Performance lead

Caseload mix shift needs agreed KPI-07 before action

Evidence: Open vs waiting ratio changed post-migration; KPI-07 still Draft

Action: Park workforce modelling until caseload definition signed off

Sign-off: CMHT service manager — prototype agreed for local use; INS-01 and INS-04 actions in capacity meeting.

In plain English

This is a weekly operational view for service managers: how much demand is coming in, how much capacity we have, how long people are waiting, and how productive teams are. The important part is the analysis — what the data suggests we should do differently, what we are piloting, and what we ruled out because it would mislead during the migration.
