Mortality Profiling

Our Mortality Profiling programme is the only one that allows you to understand variances across SHMI, RAMI and HMSR. This takes the most accurate and robust view of mortality available, enabling you to make more informed decisions to drive change and improvement.  It helps you to quickly understand your ‘true’ mortality position at any time and highlights areas of concern for further investigation. Our programme includes an online tool, supported by CHKS consultancy to help you identify risks and opportunities and make improvements in safety and care quality.

CHKS create monthly Mortality Review reports, including peer comparison, that cover all of our hospital settings within the Trust. We can easily identify areas that are performing well and those that are performing less favourably than others. The review of the data has enabled routine benchmarking within the organisation, as well as compared to similar organisations, regional peers and England. The assurance we have now supports quality improvement. The learning outcomes we identify really helps teams to focus on where improvements need to be made and to improve patient pathways
