BADS Directory of Procedures & National Dataset
Information
The BADS Directory of Procedures provides recommended day case rates for over 300 surgical procedures, arranged by specialty and defined using OPCS coding. The rates quoted are arrived at by a combination of reported practice from leaders in their field, actual rates from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) figures and expert opinion. Although aspirational, these are achievable.
The National Dataset content is produced in collaboration with CHKS using their hospital benchmarking solution iCompare. This work uses data provided by patients and collected by the NHS as part of their care and support. Where HES data is used, it is with the permission of NHS England The metrics constituting this content show the variation in day surgery performance of English hospitals for all the operations listed in the BADS Directory of Procedures and the potential release of inpatient beds and cost savings achieved if recommended BADS targets are met.
