Total health gain as assessed by patients for elective procedures (retired as of May-15) (NHSOF 3.1)

Total health gain from patients who reported an improvement in health status following an elective procedure. The four indicators cover groin hernia, hip replacements, knee replacements and varicose veins.



Please note that these indicators have been retired as of May 2015. This is because the four indicators reporting the total health gain on seperate procedures have been combined into one indicator (Total health gain as assessed by patients for physical health-related procedures) in the 2015/16 NHS Outcomes Framework. This newly combined indicator is currently a placeholder and has yet to be developed.

Purpose

Indicators 3.1.i to 3.1.iv measure how effectively people are recovering from elective procedures.

Potential years of life lost (PYLL) from causes considered amenable to healthcare (retired as of May-15) (NHSOF 1a)

The number of years of life lost by every 100,000 persons dying from a condition which is usually treatable, measured in a way which allows for comparisons between populations with different age profiles and over time.



Please note that this indicator has been retired as of May 2015. This is because the PYLL from causes considered amenable to healthcare for all ages does not appear in the 2015/16 NHS Outcomes Framework. For Potential years of life lost (PYLL) from causes considered amenable to healthcare for adults or children and young people please see indicators 1a.i and 1a.ii.

Purpose

To ensure that the NHS is held to account for doing all that it can to prevent amenable deaths. Deaths from causes considered ‘amenable’ to healthcare are premature deaths that should not occur in the presence of timely and effective healthcare.

Patient safety incidents reported (formerly indicators 5a, 5b and 5.4) (NHSOF 5.6)

The number of patient safety incidents reported to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) by provider organisations, per 100,000 population.

A patient safety incident is defined as ‘any unintended or unexpected incident(s) that could have, or did, lead to harm for one or more person(s) receiving NHS funded healthcare’.

Purpose

This indicator aims to measure the number of reported patient safety incidents across NHS care settings. The aim is for incidence reporting to increase as the culture of reporting all incidents spreads more widely across the NHS. The ultimate goal is that the number of reported incidents remains steady or decreases, as the habit of reporting incidents becomes routine and these are learnt from.
