CCGOIS 5.1: Patient Safety Incident Rates per 1,000 Bed Days

Patient safety incidents (CCGOIS 5.1) is a dataset from the Government Digital Service, published via the EU Open Data platform. It shows the rate of patient safety incidents per 1,000 total provider bed days for five main providers within each Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The current version was updated in September 2017.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking hospital safety performance based on incident rates per bed day.
• Analyzing trends in patient safety incidents across different provider groups.
• Identifying potential areas for quality improvement in clinical care based on reported incident rates.

Strengths

• Data is structured around a specific, standardized indicator (rate per 1,000 bed days).
• Provides a comparative view across five main providers for each CCG.
• Published under the Open Government Licence, allowing for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
