1. MORTALITY UPDATE 1.1 Executive Summary The mortality data for the full year /13 confirms that there has been a sustained downward trend in mortality rates within East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. This will help to provide confidence that the implemented changes to clinical pathways through the ongoing redesign work, supported by improvements in data quality, are having a positive impact on the quality of care provided. As the Our Changing Hospitals programme continues, and further clinical pathway redesign takes place along with various Trust wide initiatives it is anticipated that the downward trend in mortality rates will continue helping the Trust to continuously improve the quality of care that is provided. The chart below (Figure 1) shows the downward trajectory of both rebased HSMR (dotted blue line) and SHMI (solid black line) scores since Q4 2010/11 and demonstrates this sustained progress.

There is likely to be a minor change to this figure in June. Dr Foster predict a rebased position of 97. - 3 -

Standardised Hospital Mortality Index (SHMI) The SHMI is published by the National Information Centre on a quarterly basis and the reporting period lags approximately 6 months behind the HSMR. - 7 -

The latest SHMI published for the period October 2011 to September was 111.4, as reported in April 2013. This places the Trust in 129th position nationally out of 142 Trusts and is just significantly elevated. The chart below shows the Trust trend for SHMI, SHMI (adjusted for palliative care) and HSMR for the same time periods. Figure 9: SHMI (adjusted for palliative care) Oct 10/Sep 11 to Apr 12/Mar 13 140.0 ENHT SHMI (including adjustment for palliative care) vs HSMR Rolling 12-mth Trend Oct '10/ Sep '11 to Apr '12/ Mar '13 Source: Dr Foster Intelligence Mortality Comparator tool 130.0 120.0 110.0 Relative Risk 100.0 90.0 80.0 70.0 60.0 SHMI SHMI (adjusted for palliative care) HSMR 100 Average The next SHMI will cover the period January to December and is due to be published by the NHS Information Centre and Dr Foster Intelligence at the end of July 2013. It is probable that this will see a slight rise in SHMI but this should be followed by a definite fall in October 2013 when the SHMI data for Q4 2011/2 is removed (see Fig. 10) and the new SHMI quarter for Q4 /3 will be markedly lower.

Figure 11 shows the difference between SHMI and Standardised Mortality Rate (SMR) for certain CCS groups which includes all those that are statistically elevated. These CCS groups have been identified as the green ones are all in the CQUINs programme this year and the grey ones were formally studied following CQC HSMR alerts in early. The rank for both SHMI and SMR is an internal ranking comparing individual CCS group figure with all CCS group scores. The last column in the table is the difference between SHMI and SMR and should be used as a stimulus for further understanding and improvement for these diagnostic groups. 1.5. Update by Specific Cases 1.5.1. Fractured Neck of Femur (#NOF) The #NOF HSMR continues to improve. The number of actual deaths for /13 was 48 against an expected rate of 58 giving a relative rate of 82.8. Dr Foster have expressed an interest in using this pathway improvement as a case study. There does however remain a high variation between the HSMR and the SHMI. For the period October 2011 to September the HSMR was 89.3 and the SHMI 125. #NOF has been included in the CQUIN monitoring this year and will be added to the next CQUIN report.

The numbers are small, and include 4 deaths against an expected 3.2 giving a relative risk of 125.4 for the period April to March 2013. The SHMI for the CCS group aortic, peripheral and visceral artery aneurysms for the period October 2011 to September is 86.5. - 10 -

The number of paediatric deaths during the full year /13 for all diagnosis groups showed 17 deaths against an expected number of 11.5. 14 of these deaths were for babies <1 day old. 19 sets of notes were reviewed by a Consultant Neonatal Paediatrician, the Head of Coding and the Patient Systems Manager. Any baby that is born and has taken a breath but is unwell is registered or admitted under the Neonatal classification. Following the review, it was concluded that there were 3 Acute Paediatric deaths and only 3 true neonatal deaths. The remainder were either stillborn or dead on arrival (DOA). The review identified it was purely a coding issue and not related to the quality of clinical care provided.. Data correction (either coding or PAS) was required on each episode. Changes to the coding practice following this review include: A specific agreed pathway and practice written for the validation and coding of Paediatric deaths. Coding of the Paediatric mortalities will incorporate case notes, Death Certificates, the discharge summaries on the Badger System (Standardised Electronic Neonatal database) and the Ciconia Maternity System (CMiS). Additionally, stillbirths will be reviewed when the post mortem report is available. This means that the stillbirths will be coded immediately after the death but the coding may change after the post mortem review and may not be initially reflected in the Dr Foster report. - 11 -

Paediatric mortality coding reviews will be carried out in future according to specialty i.e. Acute Paediatrics, Maternity for stillborns and DOA, or Neonates Review of HSMR on Acute Paediatrics dashboard at monthly Rolling Half Day. 1.5.4. CQUIN Pathway Monitoring Mortality monitoring of 5 pathways currently under review as part of the CQUIN agreement is ongoing. The pathways are shown below and the data for /13 are included in Appendix 1. All pathways bar Respiratory Infections will continue into 2013/4. CQUIN Pathways 2011/12 /13 SHMI Oct 11 Sep 12 HSMR Oct 11 Sep 12 Acute Renal Failure 113 89.3 177.7 99 Congestive Heart Failure 108.1 96.7 117.3 102.6 Respiratory Infections 99.7 101.7 117.7 95.2 Septicaemia 122 89 144.4 138.6 Urinary Tract Infection 106.1 81.8 130.4 108.6 The following are the agreed additional CQUINs for 2013/14. One pathway remains to be agreed. CQUIN Pathways /13 SHMI Oct 11 Sep 12 HSMR Oct 11 Sep 12 Pneumonia (replacing Respiratory Infections) 96.1 122.8 100.1 Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) 126.4 135.6 118.9 Acute Cerebrovascular Disease (includes stroke) 96.2 118.6 98.1 Fracture of Neck of Femur (#NOF) 82.8 124.98 89.3 Monthly monitoring of progress for these additional CQUINs will be included in the next report. A specific piece of work is currently being undertaken by clinicians to review the rise in HSMR in Respiratory and a report, including any resulting actions, has been requested. The patient pathway has recently been revised by the setting up of new respiratory in reach / front door teams to support patients at the point of A&E attendance. 1.6. CUSUM Alerts There have been no new CUSUM alerts since April. 1.7. Summary of Key Issues Overall HSMR performance has improved in past 12 months Improvement and monitoring of 5 CQUIN mortality pathways continues with 4 additional diagnostic groups for 2013/14. Mortality monitoring is ongoing with regular reporting to DEC, RAQC and Trust Board and PCT - 12 -

Regular joint meetings with NHS Hertfordshire to improve mortality rates Attendance at the East of England NHS Dr Foster User Group meetings. Lessons learned through participation in Keogh Mortality review to follow. 1.8. Recommendation The Trust Board is asked to note the ongoing improvement in mortality rates within the Trust. - 13 -
