RSCH wins top award

In an earlier blog I reported that the Royal Surrey was one of 5 hospitals in the running for a prestigious CHKS award (CHKS is one of the two big companies which run information services for UK hospitals – Dr Forster is the other). It is great to report that RSCH has just been announced the winner of the national Patient Safety Award for 2014 for outstanding performance based on a range of indicators including hospital-acquired infections and mortality. It was also awarded a CHKS Top 40 Award for best performing trusts across the UK based on 22 indicators of clinical effectiveness, health outcomes, efficiency, patient experience and quality of care.
