Independent sector performance The NHS Partners Network is the trade association representing the widest range of independent sector providers of NHS clinical services ranging through acute, diagnostic, primary and community care, as well as dental services. Our members are drawn from both the “for profit” and “not for profit” sectors and include large international hospital groups and small specialist providers. All are committed to working in partnership with the NHS and to the values set out in the NHS Constitution. This document gives an overview of the performance of independent sector providers of care to NHS patients. It focuses on care sectors represented by NHSPN members and the indicators available cover five broad domains of quality:
• Patient experience • Clinical quality • Patient outcomes and safety • Efficiency indicators • The contribution of the sector shown by numbers of patients treated
All the visualisations shown in this document are based on publicly available data published by organisations such as NHS England, Public Health England, the NHS Health and Social Care Information Centre and the Care Quality Commission. Not all data collected for traditional NHS organisations and independent sector providers can be compared easily. Historic differences in the way NHS and independent sector providers have been regulated have often required independent providers to collect different information from their NHS counterparts. As the range of information is increasingly harmonised, we hope to be able to produce more comparative information published by third parties such as the organisations listed above.

Patient experience
Page 7 of 37
Friends and family test performance The Government’s preferred measure of patient satisfaction, the Friends and Family Test (FFT), applies equally to traditional NHS and the independent sector. Collected monthly since April 2013, independent providers consistently score around 90 on the FFT with the NHS consistently averaging around 70. At present, acute inpatient care is the only area where the FFT is collected by both independent and NHS providers however NHS England is in the process of rolling out the FFT across all NHS care by April 2015.
Page 8 of 37
Friends and family test – performance of all providers Independent providers cluster at the ‘high end’ of performance. The graph below shows the performance of all providers that collect the FFT for inpatient acute care and which produce a minimum response rate of 25% amounting to at least 25 patients per month. Green bars represent independent organisations and blue bars show NHS hospitals.

Friends and family test – the top 50 performers The graph below shows the top 50 hospitals as measured by patients in their response to the FFT for acute inpatient care.
Page 10 of 37
Friends and family test response rates Response rates to the FFT are used by the CQC to measure NHS Trusts’ report culture. On average NHS organisations and independent providers share a similar response rate.
The data that underpins all the FFT graphs above is available at: http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-‐work-‐areas/friends-‐and-‐family-‐test/friends-‐and-‐family-‐test-‐data/

Clinical quality
Page 12 of 37
CQC standards 2012–13 The CQC is currently introducing a new approach to regulating independent and NHS organisations. This will go live across all areas of care from April 2015. We hope that this will allow a fair and appropriate comparison between all providers of health and social care. The existing regime is based on compliance with a set of standards defined by the CQC. The CQC has assessed all providers against these outcome measures for the past three years. In general the IS complies with more outcome measures than its NHS peers. The graphs that follow show the rate at which independent and NHS organisations comply with CQC standards. We have shown all relevant standards for the care areas covered by NHS Partners Network members, i.e.:
• hospital care standards • community healthcare standards • independent ambulances
The graphs show compliance levels and rates of major and moderate breaches. Data is available for all providers inspected by the CQC and has been published in headline form in its annual ‘state of care’ report. We have obtained more granular detail through FOI requests.

Patient outcomes and safety
Page 17 of 37
Patient outcomes and safety Indicators that relate to outcomes and safety for which it is reasonable to make comparisons between independent sector organisations and their NHS counterparts include:
• Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs); and • Rate of assessment for VTE (blood clots)
Infection control information is also an important indicator. Because Public Health England analyses information collected for the independent sector and the NHS organisations on a different basis, its view is that like-‐for-‐like comparison should not be made. For completeness, we have published rates for independent sector providers in the pages that follow. These show that independent providers have very low rates of healthcare-‐acquired infections.
Page 18 of 37
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are collected for a range of elective procedures, including hip & knee replacements and cataract surgery. The Health and Social Care Information Centre (NHSCIC) publishes casemix-‐adjusted health gain by provider every six months. The NHSCIC produces PROMs data on a relatively low number of NHS and independent sector organisations. However, for these organisations the average case-‐mix adjusted weighted average health gain for patients was 18.2 for those treated by independent providers and 16.8 for NHS organisations in the most recent six-‐month period available:

Rate of assessment for VTE (blood clots) All providers of acute adult inpatient care are required to provide information on the percentage of admitted patients who are risk-‐assessed for venous thromboembolism (blood clots). The graph below shows data for the past year. The average rate for independent providers is 98.3% compared with 95.8% of NHS organisations.

Infection control data Infection control information that allows direct comparisons between the NHS and independent sector is not available. In 2009, the Health Protection Agency, now part of Public Health England, which has responsibility for collecting infection-‐control data, published its rationale for why independent sector infection-‐control information cannot yet be compared with NHS information here. Despite this lack of comparative information, Public Health England data makes it clear that there are very low healthcare acquired infection rates in the independent sector. During the six months between Apr and September 2013, the total number of reported infections across the entire independent estate (NHS-‐funded and privately funded care) was just:
• 7 cases of MRSA bacteraemia infections • 41 cases of C. difficile • 19 cases of MSSA bacteraemia • 78 cases of E. coli bacteraemia
Public Health England has not published a denominator number of bed days for this six-‐month period, but the baseline number of adjusted bed days for the previous 12 months (Apr 2012 to Mar 2013 was 1,812,950).

Efficiency indicators
Page 22 of 37
Referral to treatment times Referral to treatment times show that patients are treated earlier by independent sector providers compared with those treated by NHS organisations. Waiting times are an important indicator of organisational efficiency and for patients deciding where to choose treatment. Mean and median waiting times are generally shorter across most specialties for both inpatients and outpatients treated by independent providers compared with their NHS peers.
• Outpatients treated in May by independent providers had on average (mean) waited for 5.3 weeks compared with 10 days longer if treated by NHS organisations • Inpatients treated by independent providers during May waited an average (mean) of 9.4 weeks compared with patients waiting an additional seven days when
treated by NHS organisations • Median waiting times were similarly lower for patients treated by independent providers • 95% of outpatients treated by independent sector organisations were treated within 11.7 weeks, with NHS organisations taking 15.9 weeks to treat the same
proportion of outpatients • 95% of inpatients treated by independent sector organisations were treated within 15.4 weeks, with NHS organisations taking 22.7 weeks to treat the same
proportion of outpatients – over four weeks above the 18 week commitment http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-‐work-‐areas/rtt-‐waiting-‐times/ NB the minimum thresholds adopted by NHS England for their calculations of median values disproportionately reduce the number of available results for independent sector providers for specialty-‐level outpatient RTT data during May. It is therefore not possible to produce a chart for the top 50 RTT outpatient performers (see p. 23) using the values calculated by NHS England accurately reflects performance of all providers. We are investigating other alternatives which may lead to the production of a comparable chart for next month’s figures.

Top 50 providers by referral to treatment time for trauma and orthopaedic care The graphs below show the organisations with the shortest times for patients waiting for treatment for trauma and orthopaedic care. We have selected this specialty as it is the largest area of care by volume and percentage share to which the independent sector contributes.
NB, see note on page 22 about the availability of specialty-‐level RTT data for outpatient waiting times.

Percentage of patients treated within 18 weeks The graphs below show the proportion of patients seen within the 18-‐week referral to treatment commitment enshrined within the NHS constitution.
Page 25 of 37
Typical waiting times Median waiting times illustrate the typical experience of most patients when waiting for care.
Page 26 of 37
Average waiting times by specialty The graphs below show a weighted average of inpatient and outpatient waiting times by specialty.
Page 27 of 37
Waiting times for 95% of patients It is likely that there will be a small number of patients for whom treatment takes a significantly longer than expected amount of time. The graphs below show the maximum waiting time for 95% of patients, i.e. the longest period that most patients can reasonably expect to have to wait.
Page 28 of 37
Diagnostic waiting times The graph below shows mean waiting times for diagnostic tests by modality. MRI scans and non-‐obstetric-‐ultrasound are the most frequently provided diagnostic tests by independent organisations.

Numbers of patients treated
Page 30 of 37
Numbers of patients treated by independent providers Elective care is critically dependent on independent sector provision. Around 19% of all hip and knee replacements are now carried out by the independent sector and in some areas of the country this figure is far higher. Health outcomes and safety are closely linked to experience treating significant volumes of patients. As well as NHS patients many independent sector providers also treat large numbers of privately-‐funded patients as well. The graphs in the section that follows show a steady increase in the number and proportion of procedures carried out by independent providers since 2011 when easily comparable statistics were first published. However, the overall number of NHS patients treated by independent organisations remains a small fraction of total NHS volumes.

Elective admissions and GP referrals (1) Analysis of quarterly hospital activity data (http://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-‐work-‐areas/hospital-‐activity/quarterly-‐hospital-‐activity/) shows that the number of patients treated by the independent sector is steadily growing.
Page 33 of 37
Elective admissions and GP referrals (2) Despite the growth in independent sector provision, it is clear that traditional NHS providers still dominate overall provision for NHS patients.
Page 34 of 37
Elective admissions and GP referrals (3) The overall percentage of patients treated by the independent sector has grown in accordance with the increasing number of patients choosing independent providers.
Page 35 of 37
Acute elective patients treated by independent sector and NHS organisations For most specialties, independent sector provision represents a small proportion of overall care. However, in some specialties, notably trauma & orthopaedics and ophthalmology, the proportion of care provided by independent organisations has reach significant levels.
