For a number of years the medical profession and its administrators have been using statistical tabulations from the Hospital Activity Analysis returns. The quality of this information has often been criticized and no attempt has been made to quantify the levels of 'errors' in England and Wales. This paper reports the findings of such a study in Nottingham, and concludes that the Hospital Activity Analysis system in that area is almost as good as the clinical notes from which it is derived.
多年来,医疗行业及其管理人员一直在使用医院活动分析报告中的统计表格。这些信息的质量经常受到批评,而且在英格兰和威尔士,没有人试图对“错误”水平进行量化。本文报告了在诺丁汉进行的此类研究的结果,并得出结论,该地区的医院活动分析系统几乎与它所源自的临床记录一样好。
