Explore in-depth insights on Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratios (HSMR) and how it drives better healthcare decisions. Understand the methodology, diagnostic groupings, and patient record sets to improve patient outcomes. Utilize HSMR funnels and control limits to identify high-risk areas and improve mortality rates. Get access to timely data releases and support for quality improvement initiatives. Enhance patient care with actionable information.

What is a High HSMR? • A high HSMR where variation greater than +3SDs above Scotland HSMR • Also where HSMR >Scot HSMR but within control limits; Where HSMR is increasing or is steady over time • Distribution of variation shown on a funnel plot • In addition to published data, HSMR used as part of an internal process to highlight hospitals with exceptional variation (variation outwith norm) • Data variability on a funnel plot is not published – risk ofleague tables • Escalation protocol for potential quality/safety concerns flagged up by data – instigated by QIS (HIS) and ISD better information --> better decisions --> better health

Issues • Importance of Robust Clinical Coding • Individual probabilities of death based on ICD-10 coding • Supporting Users • Developing data pack (case listings, aggregations etc) • Working (proactively with stakeholders locally to avoid surprises • Main contacts (Patient Safety Leads, Clinical Governance) • Refer to existing resources (Navigator, Surgical / Medical Profile, ACaDMe) • Data Timeliness • SMR01 and GRO data submissions • 30-day Follow-up • Reduced lag better information --> better decisions --> better health
