[Target = 45 minutes of speech and language therapy on 5 out of 7 days a week for 50% of patients = 45 x (5/7) x 0.5]
Included: all patients are included in this indicator.
| Excluded: no patients are excluded from this indicator |
The average number of minutes of speech and language therapy per day across all patients is calculated as:
The percentage of patients reported as requiring SALT (as per Key Indicator 7.1)
multiplied by
the median number of minutes per day on which SALT is received (as per Key Indicator 7.2)
multiplied by
the median percentage of a patient’s days in hospital on which SALT is received (as per Key Indicator 7.3)
The target for the average number of minutes of speech and language therapy per day across all patients is calculated as 50% multiplied by 45 minutes, multiplied by 5/7 days, which is 16.1 minutes for all teams.
Cohort percentage: The percentage of the target achieved is calculated as the average number of minutes of SALT per day across all patients divided by the target number of minutes.

Example
Using calculations from the examples in Key Indicator 7.1, Key Indicator 7.2 and Key Indicator 7.3
Team-centred = Key Indicator 7.1 x Key Indicator 7.2 x Key Indicator 7.3
Team A = 0.67 x 30 minutes x 0.43 = 8.6 minutes
= 8.6 minutes
16.1 minutes
Compliance = 53.4%
Team B = 0.67 x 35 minutes x 0.87 = 20.4 minutes
= 20.4 minutes
16.1 minutes
Compliance = 126.7%
Patient-centred = Key Indicator 7.1 x Key Indicator 7.2 x Key Indicator 7.3
= 0.67 x 30 minutes x 0.43 = 8.6 minutes
= 8.6 minutes
16.1 minutes
Compliance = 53.4%
