Why and how NCEPOD uses patient data without consent
The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD), reviews the quality of care provided to patients to highlight improvements that could be made.
To be able to run their studies hospitals to send them a big dataset (often 1000s) of all patients and from this big group NCEPOD randomly select around 1000 patients to undertake a closer review of their care.
All patients in England can opt out of their data being used for research. Many of the non-research national programmes that review quality of care (national audits/mortality reviews) are exempt from removing the data of patients who have opted-out to ensure that serious patient safety issues are not missed. NCEPOD would like to apply for the same permission.
