National Clinical Audit Benchmarking Portal

National Clinical Audit Benchmarking (NCAB) Portal https://ncab.hqip.org.uk/

• A new initiative from HQIP aimed at making it easier to access national clinical audit data.
• Key metrics either benchmarked against other providers or against national aspirational standards (based on NICE guidelines and recommendations from the national audit provider) to provide meaningful context to local performance information to help focus local quality improvement activity. 
• Currently include six audits: 
• Intensive care (ICNARC) 
• Bowel cancer (Royal College of Surgeons) 
• Hip fracture (Royal College of Physicians) 
• Lung cancer (Royal College of Physicians) 
• Vascular (Royal College of Surgeons) 
• Oesophago-gastric (stomach) cancer (Royal College of Surgeons)
