Sharing is caring: how one hospital is leading the way on transparency

Screens all around Golden Jubilee hospital in Clydebank reveal 'brutally transparent' stats on everything from hand hygiene to superbug rates

The dials on the dashboard screen flicker between red and green, to indicate targets missed or met, outside the orthopaedic ward of the Golden Jubilee national hospital in Clydebank.

The information displayed here is free of medical jargon and simple to understand, led by what relatives themselves said they wanted to know about the place where their loved ones were being cared for. And it is also brutally transparent - a single patient fall or pressure sore is a missed target, making angry red blots appear at the bottom of the screen. There has been one of each in this particular ward over the past month.
