Quality at a glance: using aggregate measures to assess the quality of NHS hospitals: This is the first ever overall assessment of NHS hospital quality in England, and aims to contribute to the ongoing debate about how best to
measure quality in the NHS. Findings include: many of the lowest performing trusts on the quality index are subject to regulatory intervention; Foundation Trust status is a good indicator of high performance on the quality index; patient experience and waiting times matter most to members of the public who responded to the poll; and that condition-specific ratings are deemed more useful to patients than general ratings when making informed decisions about their care.
