Surgical governance
The SEHD (Scottish Executive Health Department) and NHSQIS (NHS Quality Improvement Scotland) wish to provide all hospitals and health boards with a comprehensive surgical governance portfolio annually. Because of the work that Quantics had undertaken with major national surgical audits (vide infra) we were commissioned to help design the new portfolio.
Particular emphasis was laid on the need for acceptance by clinicians.
This involves sophisticated clinical case mix matching and presentation in a readily understandable way.
Equally important was information that would help clinicians to identify the process factors likely to be the cause of a particular hospital's good or poor performance.
