1 Key Performance Indicators for Shared Services An Occasional Paper produced through the Shared Services Development Network 1.0 Introduction All organisations require performance measures for both internal management and external reporting of performance. Indeed it could be argued that because shared services are more akin to a private sector supplier, or Trust, that the agreement of KPIs and subsequent measuring and reporting are more important. The following paper has been produced after a general request to all members for their KPIs and discussion on Thanks are given to the following organisations for responding and sharing their work:- Berkshire Shared Services Birmingham PCSSA Derwent Shared Services East Lancs Financial Services LaSCA Merseycare Mersey Internal Audit Service The paper is in 5 sections: - General discussion about KPIs (2.0); Organisational KPIs (3.0); Service Specific KPIs (4.0); Key Activity Indicators (KAI) (5.0); Limitations of KPIs (6.0). North Staffs Shared Service North Wales BSP North West Internal Audit Services SSP South West London Suffolk Support Services WYCSA 2.0 General Discussion about KPIs What is the purpose of KPIs? The clue is in the word performance!!; To give a perspective of performance of the organisation/service delivered; To highlight areas where there could be a problem; To direct to areas where further detail could be useful; To enable comparisons over time and between organisations. What are the attributes of good KPIs? Measurable with unambiguous means of calculation; Simple to understand; Easy to collect the data for reporting; Low cost and low effort in collection; Move up and down in line with performance (It may be within a range); A combination of hard and soft measures; Appropriate measures eg %, absolute, range. What KPIs are not! Dependent upon customers (they are about the Shared Services performance); Counts of activity (i.e. Key Activity Indicators KAIs); The whole story; A threat.
2 Types of KPIs Organisational KPIs as a balanced scorecard) Service specific KPIs; Dynamic KPIs for a specific purpose which may be time limited. 3.0 Organisational KPIs (an example of a Balanced Scorecard provided by LaSCA) Finance To maintain costs within agreed budget; To demonstrate year on year savings; To make payments to contractor and public at agreed times and with correct amounts including compliance with BPPC; Zero incorrect or delayed payments Cash balances and funding requisitions to comply with NHS banking guidelines; Financial Information, including annual accounts provided, but agreed deadlines. Customers Quarterly SLA meetings administered with all actions completed by agreed timescales; Achievement of at least 95% of KPIs for all work specifications All changes to SLAs through change control within agreed timescales; Performance reporting and information provision by agreed timescales and media; All incidents & complaints resolved within 15 days and lessons learnt. Risk ALE/UoR score increased from previous year. Information Governance Toolkit scores improved and all criteria at least score 2; Action plans developed and implemented for quality audits, environmental audit and data mapping exercises; All internal and external audits recommendations implemented within agreed timescales; At least 80% of Internal Audits to be awarded significant assurance including the head of Internal Audit opinion; Maintenance of a dynamic risk register with actions completed as per the agreed times. Processes/Service Delivery To ensure all procedure notes are reviewed within the last 12 months; Perform regular audits of procedure notes to ensure compliance; To ensure a minimum of 3 staff trained on each procedure to provide adequate cover; Work in progress at month end <10% planned annual activity; To undertake process reviews and demonstrate continuous improvements to services. People/Organisational Development Staff turnover in the range 5-15%; All staff to have objectives agreed by 31.3 and at least one development review; Return to work interviews conducted within 2 days of return to work; Action plan developed by staff from annual staff survey and actions implemented; All staff to be involved in the cascade system of meetings every month; Sickness absence rate to be less than 4%. Governance Draft SLAs completed by 31 December; final SLAs competed by 15 March; Budget and Business Plan agreed prior to 31.3; High quality Board meetings including relevant comprehensive papers sent out 1 week before the meeting; Board Assurance Frameworks reviewed each year with contributions for all board members; At least 75% attendance at Board meetings by the Stakeholder Board member; Positive feedback from the Chair of the host Audit Committee on the Assurances given and that LaSCA has not increased the risk of the PCT.
3 4.0 Service Specific KPIs There are many services that can be provided under shared service arrangements and some are more specific than others. Appendix A captures KPIs specific to each type of service. However, given there are different organisational arrangements, they could well be categorised in a different way. Similarly, the metric or target may be different for different organisations. The important point is that the KPIs are described somewhere and then can be used by organisations as they feel most appropriate. The services described are: - A. Facilities; B. FHS; C. Finance; D. Human Resources; E. Information/IT; F. Internal Audit; G. Payroll; H. Procurement; I. Occupational Health; J. Security 5.0 Key Activity Indicators (KAIs) Organisations often provide information about activity levels but unless these are associated with a target and a unit measure of output, I would challenge that these are not KPIs. They are merely counts of activity (KAIs) and serve only to indicate workload levels and not performance. The following are offered as examples of KAIs:- Number of payments made; No of payslips issued; Number of ophthalmic claims processed; % documents received prior to cut off / submission date; Number of vacancies advertised; Number of records transferred; Number of credit notes received as % of invoices; Actual activity compared to planned activity >< x%; Number of new suppliers added each month; % of invoices processed less than 50; % of invoices processed with no PO; % invoices with first time matches; 6.0 Limitations of KPIs Can all that we need be measured by a KPI? I would suggest not and close this paper with some areas we need to measure and just ask how we could measure these? How includes the definition of what is being reported and the means of collecting that data: - High quality and useful customer review meetings; Customer satisfaction; Responsiveness to queries; Complaints received and resolved. System/Extranet availability (and what if it is due to a network problem?); Actions from self assessments implemented (e.g. IG toolkit, ALE, quality audits, process reviews); H D Peter General Manager - LaSCA
