@C7RKY not helped by the NHS Litigation Authority adding another party to the mix, multiple players means accountability lines fragmented -
@Lamourna5 NHSLA also have an inordinate defecit of unpaid claims, I believe?@Jarmann knows more about that subject than I, though. -
I heard NHSLA has ~£26b unpaid claims. It pays £1+b/yr - less to high HSMR trusts (morbidity cost more than mortality?).
@C7RKY@Lamourna5 -
@Jarmann@Lamourna5 Thanks Brian. Interesting disparity in moridity/mortality costs. So financially, it seems better for trusts if pt dies? -
It seems that could be the case, based on negative association between Trust NHSLA litigation payment rate and HSMRs.
@C7RKY@Lamourna5 -
@Jarmann@Lamourna5 That's an astonishingly perverse financial incentive, of sorts, for cash-strapped trusts? Doesn't scream pt safety to me -
See the Mid Staffs report: that Trust, with one of the highest HSMRs, was assessed by the NHSLA as being one of the best.
@C7RKY@Lamourna5 -
@Jarmann@Lamourna5 Assume there's a lead-in time before affecting NHSLA assessment? So that would be 2 separate time periods? 2 indicators? - 11 more replies
