Interpreting the Accreditation report!
Shows all fields contributing to Accreditation %
Accreditation is shown as: E=expected value and S=score for each field
Score is a fraction of expected value & should be interpreted as a percentage, e.g. 0.5 = 50%.
 Score of 1.00 represents 100% (complete data) for that field (shown in green)
 Score of 0.00 represents no expected data for that field (e.g. If Patient did not have a CT scan).
 Score of <100% will be highlighted in red. THESE ARE THE FIELDS TO REVIEW.

HES/PEDW feedback data
To help trusts improve their data completeness, in two ways:
 Identify cases that should have been submitted and were not
 Identify cases that are not eligible and tell TARN about them
For cases that are not eligible: please complete the 'Ineligible reason' column & return to TARN.
These patients will be removed from expected number of cases denominator.
Cases highlighted in green have been submitted to TARN and can be discounted
Cases in black appear to have not been submitted to TARN.
