Key Clinical Indicators for Sexual Health: Population Based Indicator Report 2009

This is the fourth of the population based KCI reports and looks at chlamydia, male and female sterilisation, termination of pregnancy and long acting reversible methods of contraception (LARC).

The report was first published in October 2009 without the chlamydia KCI which was unavailable at the time of release due to the impact of H1N1 on the work priorities and resources at Health Protection Scotland (HPS). It was reissued in November 2009 with the inclusion of the chlamydia KCI based on data for 2008.

Due to the complexities experienced with the data for 2007 around hepatitis B vaccination in men who have sex with men, this indicator has not been included in this report.

The original publication of this report was delayed by one month from its original scheduled publication date due to staff changes in the Data Augmentation for Sexual Health (DASH) project team. Despite this delay, it is intended that the NHS boards can use data from the report as part of the evidence required for the NHS QIS visits as a number of the indicators related to the NHS QIS standards for sexual health.

Key Clinical Indicators for Sexual Health

Respect and Responsibility: Strategy and Action Plan for Improving Sexual Health  highlighted the need to monitor sexual health service development both nationally and at an NHS Board level. A set of key clinical indicators has been developed for this purpose. The KCIs are managed by DASH and are part of the wider quality framework for sexual health. The indicators helped to inform the development of the Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) Sexual Health Clinical Standards and also the National Sexual Health System (NaSH) with its associated datasets, developed by the National Clinical Dataset Development Programme (NCDDP ).

The KCIs are reported upon on an annual basis - the date of publication is in brackets.

NHS boards can use these reports to monitor their own progress against previous years and in comparison with others. Those that are performing well are encouraged to share their expertise.
