Hospital guide: compare your hospital's performance

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/8918796/Hospital-guide-compare-your-hospitals-performance.html


The Dr Foster Hospital Guide, published today, reveals the death rates at all NHS trusts in England for 2010-11 and shows if they are higher or lower than expected.

Using official figures, it assesses how many deaths actually occurred at an acute trust compared with how many were predicted given the types of patients treated.


For the first time, it uses four different methods of calculating mortality rates including deaths after surgery and deaths among low-risk patients, in order to give as full as possible a picture of the care delivered at a hospital.


It also reveals the places where patients face worse care at weekends and overnight, often because fewer senior doctors are on duty, as our front-page story shows.


In addition, the report identifies hospitals where elderly patients have to wait too long for emergency hip operations, and looks at success rates for planned joint replacement surgery at private sector units as well as NHS ones.
