LHCH ranked ‘Outstanding’ in new 'learning from mistakes' league table
The Department of Health has today (Wednesday 9th March 2016) published a new ‘Learning From Mistakes League’, ranking trusts on their ‘openness and honesty’ based on data on safety reporting and the NHS staff survey.
The table splits trusts into four divisions: those with ‘outstanding levels’ of openness and transparency, those which are ‘good’, those which have ‘significant concerns’, and those with a ‘poor reporting culture’.
Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital was ranked ‘outstanding’ – one of only 18 trusts across the country to be given this top rating out of a total of 230 trusts.
Jane Tomkinson, Chief Executive, said: “As a modern NHS hospital, we believe that being open, honest and accountable to our patients and the public, helps to drive improvements in the care that we deliver.
“It is, therefore, pleasing to note that our hard work to develop an increasingly open and transparent culture, where staff feel confident to report incidents and contribute towards improvements, has been recognised nationally.”
