It is the place where you expect the highest possible care. But a damning report just revealed so many NHS hospitals have significantly high death rates. It’s specifically named East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, claiming both have high death rate shares and high mortality rates among the patients who've just had surgery.
"We welcomed the report because it's obviously. It's another arm for patients to use and their decisions about health care. It's, it obviously, it shows the hospitals that have been performing well over the past year. But it also highlights the hospitals that have not improved over the last year. And this is of real concern to us, the Patients Association.”
The report by Dr Foster Hospital guide found 62,800 adverse medical cases were reported in English hospitals from April, 2009 to March this year. There are injuries or illnesses that patients gained once in hospital, like punctured lung or serious blood clot. It's claimed 19 hospitals how significantly high death rate shares and 4 trusts have significant high death rates after surgery. It also says there's widespread under-reporting of cases, but overall mortality rates are down.
"I think it's important for patients who read this report don’t panic, and think the quality of care is awful though, they get uneasy. And in fact, some of the survey data that we get from patients, the avergage get improved rating is up to 98%, which is astonishingly good."
Small wondered then, the trust is refuting its latest report, calling the figures inaccurate. But Health Secretary Andrew Langley says the guide highlights high levels of “adverse medical events”, the widespread under-reporting of incidents and too many hospitals with death rates higher than one would expect, adding a new culture of openness and transparency will transform patient care. That’s been welcomed by the report's author who says hospitals are necessarily giving poor care, but believe trusts should investigate. |
