We publish a dashboard that looks at safety and quality of care in hospitals in relation to serious incidents, infection control, outbreaks and readmissions.
The safety and quality of care dashboard uses data we gather for our management data reports.
The data is preliminary data. It may change in the future, after we validate it. But it is a good indicator of activity based on the latest information we have.

How we use this data
We use this report to:
- monitor safety and quality of care activity against key performance indicators (KPI)
- update the Department of Health on safety and quality of care activity
The safety and quality of care dashboard is published before the management data reports. It allows us to share data much quicker than before.
