Cohorts

We are reviewing our cohorts

Can anyone share there 'Qualify Statements' re cohorts.

One rationale for reviewing - patients are now staying in ED for >12 hours - so a previous cohort of, for example - admitted to medical short stay with LOS < 12 hours - is no longer safe and we need to revise our metrics

Hi Sue, yes cohorts are getting more tricky as with the example you give and much more invasive/complex surgery being done as day case. We don't have a cohort quality statement as such but refer to an old East Mids agreed list. Please fid attached.

Thanks Simon
