Scotland Performs Healthcare Experience Indicator

The Healthcare Experience Indicator has been developed to measure the reported experience of people using the NHS. It is one of the 50 National Indicators in the National Performance Framework, which sets out the Government's outcomes based approach. Progress is reported on the Scotland Performs website: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/About/scotPerforms

The indicator is based on the results of the inpatient survey. It is calculated by giving numerical scores to people's answers to selected questions. Information on how the indicator is calculated is available in the technical report.
