Second Annual Report of the National Audit of Pulmonary Hypertension 2011

The Pulmonary Hypertension Audit will be used to measure the quality of care, activity levels, access rates and patient outcomes of pulmonary hypertension services in centres designated by the National Commissioning Group. Information from the audit will be used by clinicians and commissioners to inform clinical practice, service development and improvement and commissioning activities.

The Lotus-notes based system was launched in December 2008.

Partnerships

The NHS Information Centre is working in collaboration with senior clinicians from the specialist centres. The development and implementation of the National Pulmonary Hypertension Audit has been funded and commissioned since April 2009 by specialist commissioning groups.
