Letter to Fortius Clinic

Details

Article 21 of the Order requires every operator of a private healthcare facility to supply the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) with information about the healthcare episodes it has carried out for patients treated at that facility. The data provided must be sufficiently detailed and complete to enable PHIN to publish information about the performance of the hospital, and consultants who work there, to inform patient choice.

The Fortius Clinic did not provide PHIN with the information required by the Order, namely on admitted patient care, patient feedback, patient reported outcomes and consultant engagement. The Fortius Clinic has put a plan in place to address this by May 2023.
