Spire Roding Hospital has won the 2017 CHKS Top Hospitals programme data quality award for independent providers. The CHKS Top Hospitals awards celebrate excellence throughout the UK and are given to acute sector organisations for their achievements in healthcare quality and improvement.
The data quality award is a national award given in recognition of the importance of clinical coding and data quality, and the essential role they play in ensuring appropriate patient care and financial reimbursement from commissioners.
CHKS, a company part of Capita Healthcare Decisions helping to improve quality and outcomes, has used over 27 years of experience in the analysis of hospital data to decide the indicators on which each of the Top Hospitals programme awards are judged.
