None of top 10 hospital trusts for avoidable deaths were part of Keogh Review, raising possibility watchdogs are missing problem hospitals.

"Dr Frances Healey...NHS England, argued the increasing number of fatal safety incidents was the result of better reporting" >Complete crap!
-
"Errors in acute hospital trusts account for almost half reported deaths, with 1,463 dying due to safety incidents, up 10 per cent." >HALF??

"..the number of patients who died due to safety incidents rose from 2,864 in 2011/12 to 3,588 in 2012/13." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2496114/How-3-500-hospital-patients-lost-lives-surgical-errors-staff-busy-treat--just-TWELVE-months.html …

@C7RKY Every avoidable death is a tragedy. Every life restored is a miracle. How does the number of tragedies compare with the miracles? -
.
@atm0spheric Is healthcare a miracle? Or a scientific evidenced process to be followed? Tragedies happen when processes aren't followed ime -
@C7RKY Much of science is miraculous to those on the outside. How do the numbers compare? -
@atm0spheric Not sure there's a comparison to be made is there? Isn't carrying out these procedures with an acceptable sucess rate the norm? -
@C7RKY Don't close them. Fix them. -
@atm0spheric My thoughts exactly!! Believe me, we're on the same page on that one. -
@C7RKY Agreed - and since nobody sets out to cause avoidable deaths, can we please have a MAIB on the lines of the CAAs AAIB? -
@atm0spheric Avoidable deaths can be caused by shortcutting safety procedures. That's a choice someone's accountable for no? MAIB/CAAs/AAIB? - 2 more replies

@C7RKY Croydon trust said its figures on fatal patient safety incidents were ‘inaccurate and inconsistent with the true picture of care’. -

@rogerkline Did you honestly expect to hear them say anything else Roger? I'm afraid 'trust' has now become the shortest oxymoron I know. -
@C7RKY I'm only surprised they didn't ask Birmingham University to analyse the data....... -
@rogerkline Haha! Class. *Tips hat* -
@C7RKY Its an old motto. When in doubt or with fingers in till. Deny and doubt the picture -
@rogerkline Has an almost poetic feel to it, that one. Seems to pretty much cover all the bases too. Nice...
