Population Care Manager (PCM) Tool

Informed Decision Making. Better Commissioning. Better Services.

Dr Foster's (DFR) Population Care Manager (PCM) tool allows Local Authorities to model populations and anticipate and plan for future health and social care needs.

Population modelling helps you find out:

• How many people live in your Local Authority
• What your local population demographic breakdown is (age, sex, ethnicity)
• How much the population is expected to grow
• How you can model local change scenarios

Regional profiling helps you answer these questions:

• How does the Local Authority Performance compare with my peers?
• How do prevalence indicators and regional needs compare?
• What do synthetic estimates tell us about the population?

Find out the answer to your local needs and inequalities:

• How can we define "high risk" population segments?
• How do the needs of different local communities vary?

Find the answers to help plan resources:

• How has uptake changed over time?
• Where do I need to reduce activity to hit my targets?
• How can I expect activity to change in the future?
