Crab Quarterly Data Sets

CQC requires detailed information on quality from patient-level data to help to identify good practice and danger zones at an early stage to inform ongoing monitoring of Medical Care and Surgery services in the Next Phase of regulation of NHS trusts.

The requirement is for monitoring information about hospitals to review underlying issues of morbidity and avoidable harm beyond mortality. CQC is particularly looking to fill a gap beneath headline mortality analysis from SHMI/HSMR and therefore help to explain or validate outliers as well as giving some indication of root cause.
