Mortality

The Summary Hospital-level Mortality Indicator (< 100 is better than average) from January 2018 to December 2019 was 92.51

The Summary Hospital-level Mortality Indicator (< 100 is better than average) from January 2018 to December 2018 was 92.51. 

Mortality rates

One of the most common ways to measure mortality is the national Summary Hospital-level Mortality Indicator (SHMI). SHMI shows the comparison between the numbers of deaths in hospital against an "expected" number of deaths appropriate to the types of patients a hospital provides care for.  It is an independent system managed by the Department of Health.

A figure of less than 100 is better (or less) than the national average. A figure of more than 100 is worse (or greater) than the national average.

Referral to Treatment

The NHS Constitution gives patients the right to access services within maximum waiting times, or for the NHS to take all reasonable steps to offer you a range of suitable alternative providers if this is not possible.

This right is a legal entitlement protected by law, and applies to the NHS in England. This is our monthly performance.

We resumed reporting in December 2016 with our October 2016 performance. For more information relating to our return to reporting read our Issue Brief.
