New NHS Oversight Framework Ranks LHCH 4th Nationally

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital has today, Tuesday 9th September, been ranked one of the top trusts in the country with the  introduction of a new NHS National Oversight Framework - a tool by which all NHS Trusts are to be measured.

LHCH ranks 4th out of 134 hospitals in the acute and specialist Trust league table.

There’s 22 metrics with the framework, spread across six domains, which come together to give each organisation a segment rating of between 1 at the high end down to 5.

The new quarterly league tables score each NHS trust for their performance against 22 metrics in the new ‘NHS Oversight Framework’, which reflect the delivery of NHS priorities. These include reducing waiting times, ensuring patient safety, improving patient and staff experience, and staying within budget. Each trust is ranked by their average score across these metrics and placed in one of four equal groups. 

NHS organisations are also placed in segments (from 1 to 5) based on how they’re performing. Segment 1 represents the organisations with the narrowest range of challenges while segment 4 contains those with the broadest.

LHCH has been placed in Segment 1.

The results form a league table which will be updated quarterly, making a visible and accessible way for patients, staff and the wider public, to understand how the Trust is performing.
