The purpose of the survey is to determine:

  • The number of organisations using PLICS
  • What stage they are at in implementing PLICS
  • Whether PLICS data is used to support the reference cost collection and
  • How many organisations are using the Clinical Costing Standards.

These systems help organisations identify and understand the resources consumed at the patient level, and help build up the associated costs.
