The healthcare efficiency award recognises organisations that have achieved high standards of operational excellence and outperform their peers on a range of 13 efficiency indicators that support care quality and patient outcomes.

Tracey Francis, Managing Director, Capita Healthcare Decisions, said:

“Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust should feel proud to be shortlisted for this healthcare efficiency award as it highlights the exceptional work and care that it consistently provides.”

CHKS, part of Capita Healthcare Decisions, has used over 28 years of experience in the analysis of hospital data to decide the indicators on which each of the Top Hospitals programme awards are judged. The data comes from the information that is regularly submitted by hospitals to NHS Digital to help track performance. RCHT is one of just five shortlisted in this category.
