This 'caterpillar chart' shows the 'key performance indicator' (KPI) achievement for all NHFD hospital units:

KPI 6. Return to original residence - Discharged back to original residence, or in that residence at 120 day follow-up

The chart shows:
1. The average and individual achievement for all NHFD hospital units, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
2. The confidence interval calculated for each hospital based on the variation of data they have submitted

Each hospital unit is rated as:
Average - if their KPI confidence interval values include the national average, or
Below average - if their KPI confidence interval values are lower than the national average or
Above average - if their KPI confidence interval values are higher than the national average

Below average units should review the data they are providing and should consider making affected KPIs the focus of local quality improvement work.
Above average units should review the data on which this position is based, but if they are confident of the quality of submitted data then local clinical teams should be congratulated.
Average units should also review their data and strive to maintain and improve their KPIs where possible.

Notes
Only hip fracture patients are included and their residential status is known at presentation and discharge or followup, specifically:
All patients where interval between date of discharge from trust and date of admission to A&E is <=120 days AND
discharge destination from trust = Residence before this hospital admission OR 120 day residence = Residence before this hospital admission.
KPI value - the average value calculated for the year indicated/selected.
This chart is released annually and not updated. The values are 'static' and based on data entered by the reporting deadline for the period.
