This paper discusses the Hospital Standardized Mortality Rate (HSMR) as developed by Sir Brian Jarman at Imperial College, London. It analyzes mortality rates in Dutch hospitals from 2001 to 2003 while considering factors such as age, severity of diagnosis, and patient demographics. The goal is to improve patient safety and reduce unnecessary deaths through new measures and real-time monitoring. By identifying bottlenecks and leveraging a comprehensive analysis of nursing and medical information, hospitals can enhance care quality, ultimately fostering better outcomes for patients.

Originator of HSMR is sir prof. Brian Jarman Imperial College, London
Number of deaths per year, related towards age, severeness etc. in comparison with expected death Is there a number of persons that too early died? Purpose: - to improve quality in terms of safety and effectiveness of care- avoid unnecessary deaths Development new measure:Hospital Standardized Mortality Rate HSMR
Dutch hospital standardised mortality ratios 2001-3(HSMRs) vs hospital(standardised for age, sex, urgency/readmission, LOS within 50 CCS groups leading to 80% all deaths,excluding small hospitals and those with poor data recording, using year 2000 standard) 112 Where are we now? Be careful: not the dot, but the interval 72
AEX – composite of many share-values HSMR – composite of many diagnoses Which one is influencing the result especially? Realize: HSMR is a mean, always there is one below and one above!! As a country you strive to squeeze the spread to a minimum. HSMR as an AEX
Analysis of medical and nursing information/status:you learn a lot about your own organization Help of triggertool Where are the bottlenecks? Analysis of HSMR based on individual diagnoses Look for interventions for specific groups Introduce Real Time Monitoring Move Your Dot =to lower the HSMR
