HEADLINES: SA HOSPITAL SURVEY 2011-2012

3076Facilities Self-assessed

16%37%47%

16% meet Government standards

WHY SHOULD WE CARE?

• 4 out of 5 people use public healthcare facilities in South Africa

• 84% of national healthcare facilities do not meet government standards

• The NHI (National Health Insurance initiative) is moving forward, which means that facilities need to be vastly improved in order to be effective

OUR APPROACH

• Analyzing the National Healthcare self-assessment data to determine the highest-rated facilities in the country

• Finding the outliers - facilities that excel despite being surrounded by a sea of failure and mediocrity

• Analyzing mitigating factors to determine the reasons behind their excellence

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW

• Why are these facilities succeeding despite suffering the same limitations as their neighbours?

• What can we learn from their managers and staff, to improve our other hospitals?

• What can communities and local government do to help?
