4.3 - Mortality Indicators & Survival Rates

Survival Rates

CCU Mortality Rate

Unit mortality represents the proportion of patients who had spells on the CCU who passed away on the unit. Total mortality represents the proportion of patients who had spells on the CCU who then passed away on either the CCU or another hospital ward.

Inpatient Deaths – Onsite Deaths

The Christie process for learning from deaths follows the 2017 NHSI guidance. All in-patient deaths are screened and where flagged by one or more triggers an independent structured case note review (SCR) is undertaken. Reviews are discussed by the Mortality Surveillance Group and the findings and actions from these are reported to the Executive Review meetings. Quarterly reports are made to Patient Safety and the Trust Quality Assurance Committees.
