Quality of care scores were assigned to the criterion in the admission, initial management and pre-discharge phases. The method used was similar to that in the Phase One study, whereby each time a criterion was met or done or the reviewer selected the not done for a valid reason option a score of 1 was given. If a reviewer selected not recorded, the review item did not receive a score as this option presumes the care was not provided. The mean and median quality of care scores are presented in table 13.5.
