It is based on a combination of what we found when we inspected, information from our ‘Intelligent Monitoring’ system, and information given to us from patients, the public and other organisations. Ratings Overall rating for this hospital Requires improvement ––– Accident and emergency Requires improvement ––– Medical care Good ––– Surgery Good ––– Critical care Requires improvement ––– Maternity and family planning Requires improvement ––– Services for children and young people Good ––– End of life care Good ––– Outpatients Good ––– 1 Russells Hall Hospital including Corbett and Dudley Guest Quality Report 03/12/2014 Summary of findings Letter from the Chief Inspector of Hospitals We carried out this comprehensive inspection as part of the new hospital inspection programme and as a follow up to the Keogh review which took place in 2013. Of the 14 trusts inspected under the Keogh review for the quality and safety of their services, The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust was one of only three trusts that were not put into special measures. That review identified concerns regarding: • governance arrangements • the need to embed a culture of learning from incidents • how the trust uses and reviews mortality data • the system for bed management and patient flows • embedding patient experience in the organisation’s learning and strategy • staffing levels and skills mix • safety and equipment checks • pressure ulcer care.
