We’re pleased to bring you Episode Two of Measuring Mortality; our monthly video masterclass series designed to help health and care professionals get to grips with mortality data.
In this episode, Paul Hawgood and Andy Wilson from our Analytics team will be introducing you to Standardised Mortality Rates (SMRs), following last month’s episode on Crude Mortality Rates.
Speaking ahead of this latest video, Paul said:
“Unlike Crude Mortality Rates, which we covered in episode one, Standardised Mortality Rates allow you to compare data across different organisations by making adjustments to take into account differences in age, sex, type of admission and condition.
“In this episode, we’ll be giving you an overview of SMRs and how they are calculated, whilst in episode three we’ll take a look at some of the common types used across the NHS to help improve services.”
