Details
This publication of the Seven-day Services indicators relates to activity in the period April 2018 to March 2019.
The indicators presented in this report are being published to provide information on how we can effectively measure both improvement and variation in care provision across the week. This report includes indicators on the following topics:
• Emergency readmissions within seven days of discharge from hospital by day of discharge
• Mortality within 30 days of admission by week-part of admission to hospital
• Length of stay following an emergency admission to hospital by day of admission
If variation exists across the week for a particular hospital trust, it should be examined in more detail to understand the causes. The indicators require careful interpretation and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and information from other sources that together form a holistic view of trust outcomes.
