higher than might be expected for their practice. Keogh was also concerned that one consultant surgeon was suspended from operating, that the senior consultant was on holiday and that the remaining surgeons were locums. The hospital could not contradict the mortality figures, so he suggested suspending surgery till the full facts could be verified. It subsequently turned out that Leeds had submitted poor data, 20 times more missing data than any other unit in the country, despite the fact that one of their cardiologists ran the national registry. After Leeds had submitted accurate and complete data, analysis showed that although they still had the highest mortality in the country they were within normal statistical boundaries. His intervention was widely regarded as sensible and preemptory given the evidence, but some thought it precipitous. Keogh remained unrepentant, arguing he would rather be remembered for preventing an avoidable disaster and embedding the "precautionary principle" in NHS safety culture, than responsible for not acting on reasonable doubt. He cited examples of "prevarication" at
Bristol in the 1990s and Mid Stafforshire in the 2000s when some people argued over data while other people were harmed.

Thirdly, the NHS should treat you effectively if you need a short episode of care e.g. broken leg, an operation or infection. Fourthly, the NHS should treat you well. The experience should be as positive as possible, ranging from participation in decisions about your treatment to decent customer service. Finally, the NHS should treat you safely. All of these are measurable at different levels. They also dovetail with the definition of quality in the three domains of effectiveness, safety, and experience.

recommended the development of essential functionality that would create a pull effect from clinicians by ensuring NHS IT was useful in conducting day-to-day business. The idea was to create a create a ‘tipping point’ in the acceptability and demand for strategic IT systems. The five key elements (the ‘Clinical 5’) for secondary care were: a
Patient Administration System (PAS) with integration with other systems and sophisticated reporting; Order Communications and Diagnostics Reporting (including all pathology and radiology tests and tests ordered in primary care; letters with coding (discharge summaries, clinic and Accident and Emergency letters); scheduling (for beds, tests, theatres etc.); e-Prescribing. This set the NHS on a path to electronic health records.
645:) and included in Darzi's review. The principles were simple: Define what is meant by quality, measure it, publish it for everyone to see, reward those who do well, regulate for minimum standards, promote and develop leadership for quality within the NHS and promote research and innovation within the NHS, by drawing on and linking with the best British universities and biotechnology companies in to form academic science networks. The resultant definition of healthcare quality based on the provision of effective care, safe care and a positive experience became widely accepted and was subsequently enshrined in the Health and Social Care Act (2012).

His advice was seen by some as an intervention to protect and prevent the closure of Lewisham A&E and by others as the opposite.
