INDICATOR ASSURANCE SERVICE APPROACH AND CRITERIA
Overarching approach
Initial evaluation
Peer review
Methodology Review Group
Indicator Governance Board
To assess the indicator HSCIC will need details about:
why the indicator is needed;
the persons who will use, or benefit from the use of, the indicator;
the methodology to be used in constructing the indicator;
the data sources in relation to the methodology applied, and
how the quality indicator is to be published.
The quality of a national health and social care indicator is then appraised based on a transparent set of criteria and associated criteria:
Is it clear what the indicator will measure?
Clarity
What are the reasons and evidence for measuring this?
Rationale
Are the data in the measure fit (enough) to support the purpose?
Data
Will the methods used support the stated purpose? Is it clear what
Construction
methods are used and how they have been tested and/or justified?
Is the presentation of the indicator suitable and are all potential users able
Interpretation
to interpret the values?
Risks and usefulness
Are any limitation, risks or perverse incentives associated with the indicator
explicitly stated? Can the indicator be used for quality improvements?

Draft wording
Professionally trained staff
The assessment and clinical investigation of all patients with leg
ulcers should be undertaken by health care professionals trained
in leg ulcer management
Revised wording
(what is being measured)
The percentage of patients with leg ulcers assessed by a health
care professional trained in leg ulcer management
Rationale
Leg ulcers are complex wounds and patients should be managed
by skilled practitioners who have the appropriate level of
training and qualification. There is a significant evidence base to
support this requirement.

The percentage of non-complex venous leg ulcers in all settings
where the first line of treatment is graduated multi-layer high

Definition of a leg ulcer is a wound on the lower leg or foot that has not healed within six weeks
Need to consider capturing exclusions e.g. non concordant patients
Definition’ of ‘in all settings’ needed, since nursing home patients may receive 4-­‐layer bandaging depending on commissioning arrangements. Therefore may need to consider clinic and patient's own home settings.

Venous Leg Ulcer healing rates
Draft wording
The percentage of venous leg ulcers healed within 24 weeks of
assessment.
Revised wording
(what is being measured)
The percentage of venous leg ulcers fully healed within 24
weeks of assessment
Rationale
This indicator is proposed to establish the proportion of patients
who experience a fully healed VLU at 24 weeks from assessment.
Clinical studies often focus on healing rates at 12 and 24 weeks,
although the rate and success of healing is also dependent on
other factors such as mobility, complexity and the presence of
co-morbidities.

Inpatient pressure ulcer risk assessment
Draft wording
All patients being admitted to a community bed must receive a
pressure ulcer risk assessment, using a recognised assessment
tool within 6 hours.
Revised wording
(what is being measured)
All patients admitted to a community bed must receive a
pressure ulcer risk assessment, using a recognised risk
assessment tool, within six hours of admission
Rationale
This indicator is proposed to establish how many patients
receive a pressure ulcer risk assessment (using a recognised
tool) within six hours of admission to a community hospital.
Patients admitted from acute trusts or their usual place of
residence ma be at risk of developing a pressure ulcer or may
have already have a pressure ulcer upon admission. Prompt
assessment of the patient will ensure that any risk factors are
quickly identified and any treatment regimes can be
incorporated into the patient's care plan.

Domiciliary pressure ulcer risk assessment
Draft wording
All patients referred into community nursing services for a

Revised wording
(what is being measured)
All patients referred onto community nursing services for a
domiciliary visit must have a pressure ulcer risk assessment
prior to discharge from the service, using a recognised
assessment tool.
Rationale
This indicator is proposed because good practice, including NICE
guidance (CG179), says that all patients should have a robust risk
assessment encompassing the following factors:
Significantly limited mobility
Previous or current pressure ulcer
Nutritional deficiency
Inability to reposition themselves
Significant cognitive impairment

The F&FT provides a robust, nationally recognised approach to
providing feedback of the patient's experience. The
implementation of the FFT across all NHS services is an integral
part of 'Putting Patients First', NHS England’s Business Plan for 2013/14 – 2015/16. It is designed to help service users, commissioners, clinicians and other stakeholders to better
understand the patient's experience of the service they receive.
The design of the F&FT means it can be benchmarked and easily
compared between peer organisations.
