Disease Management Toolkit (DMIT) for Paediatric Asthma
DMIT is a voluntary good practice tool that the NHS may wish to use to strengthen their approach to Disease Management, by presenting data at Primary Care Trust (PCT) level on conditions contributing to high numbers of emergency bed days. DMIT models the effects of possible interventions which may be commissioned at a local level. It aims to support decision-makers, commissioners and deliverers of care for people with long term conditions. The Paediatric Asthma data module will enable PCTs to compare their emergency admission rates, bed-days and lengths of stay with a range of different comparators. Potential cost savings through reductions in admissions and bed days for PCTs are also included.

Health Poverty Index (HPI)
The Health Poverty Index (HPI) is a web-based tool which allows groups, differentiated by geography and cultural identity, to be contrasted in terms of their 'health poverty' which is their present state of health and future health potential. The HPI tool provides a single visual summary of a large range of indicators which may provide some bearing on future health in an area. The indicators are presented under three main headings - root causes, intervening factors and situation of health - which are then sub-divided based on the geographical scale at which they tend to operate which are regional, local, individual.
