Key question

Understand the effectiveness of various referrer types?

Streamlining referrals

Hospices could use a simple checklist for people referring children

• Unless the referral passes a threshold based on the checklist, the process won’t be progressed

Summary

Shooting Star Chase found where their missing children are likely to be and streamlined their referrals process.

Post DataDive: A couple of volunteers went on to build an interactive dashboard for the hospice.

The dashboard is being used to persuade clinical commissioners of the high demand for children’s end-of-life services and the need for more funding for the sector.

Plan to roll it out across all children’s hospices in England and Wales.
