Dr Foster Hospital Guide - mortality rates
Minutes:
The Committee was advised that the Dr Foster report for the period April 2009 – March 2010 published in November had highlighted that Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust had a higher than expected Hospital Standardised Mortality Ration (HSMR) for the year. Although the Committee had considered a report on the previous year’s performance, Members felt that further information on the latest findings by Dr Foster should be provided. This was supported by the PCT, and it was hoped that representatives from the Hospital would be able to attend the next meeting.
RESOLVED: That a report and explanation concerning the Dr Foster data on the Hospital Standardised Mortality Rate (HSMR) be provided by Mid Cheshire Hospital foundation Trust at the next meeting.
