4. Ratings in the new hospital inspection
programme
• Rationale for ratings
• The task
• Proposed approach
• Making judgements
• Some examples to ask for your views

5. Rationale for ratings
• The public want information about the quality of services presented in a
way which is easy to understand
• The approach taken by Ofsted is seen as a model, though we recognise
that hospitals are more complex than schools. Patients/public may, for
example, be interested in a particular service (e.g. maternity or frail
elderly care) rather than a single global rating
• Ratings of services and of Trusts should hopefully be a driver for
improvement

6. Ratings: Proposed approach (1)
•
A four point scale will be used for all ratings
•
•
Good
•
Requires Improvement
•
•
Outstanding
Inadequate
Ratings will always take account of all sources of information
•
Intelligent monitoring tool
•
Information provided by Trust
•
Other data sources
•
Findings from site visits
•
Direct observations
•
Staff focus groups
•
Patient and public listening events
•
Interviews with key people

7. Ratings: Proposed approach (2)
• Bottom up approach: Rate each of the 8 core services on each of
the five key questions (safe, effective, caring, responsive, well
led).
• Then rate the Trust as a whole on the five key questions,
including an overall assessment of well led at Trust level.
• Derive a final overall rating.
• Note: Where Trusts provide separate services (e.g. A+E or
maternity) on different sites we will attempt to rate these
separately

17. Judgement 1: Medical Care, Trust A
• Medical care was found to be good on almost all wards, with audit
data showing good clinical outcomes
• However, one ward for frail elderly was understaffed and had a
high incidence of pressure ulcers and falls
How would you rate this service?
17
18. Judgement 2: Surgical care, Trust B
• Trust B had 5 ‘never events’ over the past year (somewhat above
average for a Trust of this size). All related to retained swabs.
• The inspection team reported that the Trust has taken this very
seriously. The WHO surgical checklist has now been fully
implemented and an open, learning culture in theatres is now
evident.
• Surgical outcomes are otherwise good and patients report that
staff are very caring.
How would you rate this service?
18
19. Judgement 3: Caring, Trust C
• The inspection team observed multiple staff/patient interactions
indicating high levels of caring. Several patients at the listening
event also reported positively on the caring behaviour of staff.
• However, results from the inpatient survey indicate that this trust
is in the lower quartile in terms of patients’ experience of care.
Howe would you rate this service?

20. Judgement 4: Paediatric A+E services,
Trust D
• Adult A+E services at Trust D were judged to be good on all
domains (safe, effective, caring, responsive, well led).
• Trust D has no consultants in A+E trained in paediatrics and very
few nursing staff are trained in paediatric resuscitation.
• Care for children once admitted was judged to be
good/outstanding.
How would you rate
(1) The A+E service
(2) The paediatric service?
20
21. Judgement 5: Non clinical services,
Trust E
• Trust E has good or outstanding ratings for all 8 core services.
• The Trust was recently found to have poor hygiene in its kitchens
by environmental health inspectors.
• The Trust management was horrified that they had not spotted
this for themselves and had immediately rectified the situation.
They were very open about this at the time of the CQC inspection
and appear to have learnt from this experience.
Q: Should this incident affect the Trust’s rating?
