Safety & Quality Committee<br />
Review performance data<br />
presented to the Board to ensure<br />
Board oversight of contributing or<br />
underlying issues.<br />
The action from the April Board<br />
was:<br />
Dr Mayor reminded Board members<br />
that the HSMR <strong>and</strong> the SHMI were<br />
only two performance measures:<br />
they should not be considered in<br />
isolation but as part of a broader<br />
suite of performance metrics.<br />
Professor Lewis queried whether<br />
the underlying data was reviewed<br />
by the Safety & Quality Committee.<br />
[…] Dr Williams stated that the<br />
Committee did not review data<br />
below the level presented to the<br />
Board <strong>and</strong> relied on the Medical<br />
Director to give assurance on<br />
underlying data <strong>and</strong> to identify any<br />
areas requiring a more detailed<br />
analysis. Professor Lewis<br />
suggested that, under these<br />
circumstances, the Committee<br />
should review below the line. The<br />
Board requested Dr Mayor <strong>and</strong> Dr<br />
Williams, who would be chairing the<br />
Safety & Quality Committee from<br />
June, to review data presentation to<br />
ensure that the Board was sighted<br />
of the contributing, or underlying,<br />
issues. It was agreed that the<br />
Safety & Quality Committee would<br />
review the last three months’ data in<br />
depth.<br />
