'Health check' self-assessment
Self-assessment is part of the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) (formerly the Healthcare Commission) annual 'health check' for hospitals, which replaced the star rating system in 2006. Along with all other trusts in the country, we judge ourselves against standards which aim to measure what really matters to patients. The assessment also includes views on the quality of our services from the local community, including patient and public representatives.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) review our assessment against other nationally-held information to make sure that it is an accurate reflection of the hospital's performance and following which in September each year they publish the final health check, giving the hospital a rating. This rating indicates whether our services are weak, fair, good, or excellent.
In 2009 the Trust scored 'good' for quality of services and 'good' for use of resources.
