The <strong>NHS</strong> Safety Thermometer is a tool for measuring, monitoring <strong>and</strong> analysing the<br />
proportion of patient harm <strong>and</strong> ‘harm-free’ care at a given point in time against four particular<br />
‘types’ of harm. Each month, a snapshot audit is undertaken on every inpatient on a single<br />
day. The audit records the prevalence of 4 different types of harm events:<br />
• Pressure Ulcers<br />
• Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections<br />
• DVT <strong>and</strong> PE<br />
• Falls<br />
The audit also records whether the harm event happened prior to or during admission. PHT<br />
is consistently submitting audits for the majority of inpatients <strong>and</strong> is recognised regionally for<br />
this. The graph illustrates that the prevalence of patient harm events remains relatively<br />
stable.<br />
