PHIN's Patient Insights Explorer

Summary

The Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) has launched its Patient Insights Explorer, a new website feature that shows how private hospital admissions, length of stay and safety incidents in the UK vary by patient characteristics, such as age, gender, ethnicity and pre-existing conditions.

Built with patients in mind, the Explorer presents clear, plain English summaries and interactive charts covering three areas of care:

1. Admissions (how often people are admitted to private hospitals)
2. Stays (how long people stay in private hospitals) and

Incidents (safety related events currently including surgical site infections), with simple filters for nation and payment method (self-pay or insured).
