Wider Impacts of COVID-19 on Health (WICH) monitoring tool
Introduction
The wider impacts of COVID-19 on health monitoring tool (WICH) looks at the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population's health and wellbeing.
Public Health England (PHE) health intelligence teams are scoping metrics that will enable the monitoring of the indirect health impacts of COVID-19. This resource is a central repository for the metrics as they become available.
Presenting the metrics in one place provides stakeholders with a single point of access. Access to a range of metrics on the wider indirect health impacts will enable stakeholders to:
- monitor changes over time or against an agreed point in time
- make timely informed decisions
- intervene to reduce/mitigate against poor outcomes
- understand the wider context of population health
