Description

This is the fourth publication of the Summary Hospital-level Mortality Indicator (SHMI). There is a methodological change for this publication. Further details of this change can be found on the methodological changes page, under Indicators. There are now 143 providers being reported on the SHMI compared to 147 previously. This is due to trust mergers. The details of the mergers including the associated provider codes are below: Barts Health NHS Trust (R1H) is a new trust that has been formed from the merger of Barts and The London NHS Trust (RNJ), Newham University Hospital NHS Trust (RNH) and the Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust (RGC). Trafford Healthcare NHS Trust (RM4) has now merged with Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (RW3) and will be reported under Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (RW3) going forwards. Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare NHS Trust (RN1) has now merged with Basingstoke And North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust (RN5) and will be reported under Basingstoke And North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust (RN5) going forwards. Update November 2012: A small error has been detected in the SHMI contextual indicator ‘Deaths split by those occurring in hospital and those occurring outside hospital within 30 days of discharge'. An issue has been identified with the methodology we are using to identify deaths that occur in hospital and deaths that occur outside hospital within 30 days of discharge. On the October 2012 release, this figure will be revised to approximately 74.1 per cent and 25.9 per cent respectively. Changes to previous quarters are similar. A revised methodology specification document will be published with the next release in January 2013.
