Included: all patients who are discharged alive from inpatient care are included in this indicator.
| Excluded: patients who died in inpatient care or who were transferred to another inpatient team are excluded from this indicator |
Numerator = the number of patients who are given a named person to contact after discharge.
Denominator = all the patients discharged alive in the cohort. Patients who are not given a named person to contact after discharge are included in the denominator.
To calculate the numerator:
Count the number of patients who were discharged with a named person to contact after discharge (Q 7.12 is ‘Yes’).
Cohort percentage:
| For team-centred | For patient-centred |
| All patients in the team-centred post-72h cohort who were discharged alive from inpatient care | All patients in the patient-centred post-72h cohort who were discharged alive from inpatient care |
Example
Patient W died in inpatient care and is therefore excluded from this indicator.
Patient X was discharged with a named contact, and therefore achieved this indicator.
Patient Y was discharged with a named contact, and therefore achieved this indicator.
Patient Z was discharged alive but not with a named contact, and therefore did not achieve this indicator.
Therefore the cohort percentage is 0.67 or 67% or
