Description

A clinically led audit of 1000 Barts Health patient records for patients that were readmitted within 30 days.

Outputs of the audit will include:

Part 1: A case note review undertaken by the successful bidder's clinical team, on the provider premises, to identify those cases where the admission was potentially avoidable

Part 2: A case note review undertaken with the successful bidder's clinical team, plus the trust and CCG clinicians, to discuss a sample of admissions deemed potentially avoidable/not avoidable during Part 1.

A paper detailing the outcome of the clinical review to be shared with providers and commissioners identifying themes and areas for service development/improvement.
A presentation of the findings by the successful bidder to the commissioners and provider.
