- Spire London East Hospital successfully completes rigorous audit process to receive Gold level certification
Spire London East Hospital has been awarded as a Gold level National Joint Registry (NJR) Quality Data Provider for 2024 after successfully completing a national programme of local data audits.
The NJR Quality Data Provider scheme has been devised to offer hospitals public recognition for achieving excellence in supporting the promotion of patient safety standards and is achieved by complying with the mandatory NJR data submission quality audit process.
The NJR monitors the performance of hip, knee, ankle, elbow, and shoulder joint replacement procedures to improve clinical outcomes for the benefit of patients, but also to support orthopaedic clinicians and industry manufacturers. The registry collects high quality orthopaedic data in order to provide evidence to support patient safety, standards in quality of care, and overall value in joint replacement surgery. The 'NJR Quality Data Provider' certificate scheme was introduced to offer hospitals as a blueprint for reaching high quality standards relating to patient safety and to reward those who have met registry targets.
