HealthStat – Significant Improvements in Hospitals performance since HealthStat inception on website

ACCESS
Access measures the waiting times that people experience for different services.  Are patients able to access consultant led out-patient clinics, diagnostic services, treatments, procedures, therapy services, care group services and emergency services within acceptable timescales?

INTEGRATION
Integration checks that the services received are patient-centred?  Are people receiving outpatient or day care when they should be?  Where it is suitable, are people being admitted on the day of their procedure?  Is the length of stay for inpatient as should be expected?  Are patients and their families informed about their treatment and included in discharge planning?  Are access to diagnostic and primary care services appropriate?
