Lessons from healthcare investigations, 2000–2003 (published 2004)

March 2004 · Commission for Health Improvement (CHI)

Why this report matters

The Commission for Health Improvement (CHI) was the independent body that inspected and investigated National Health Service (NHS) care until 2004. This report looks at how organisations were run, how leaders responded to problems and how patients could be protected. CHI said the Peter Green investigation had already influenced some national policies. That does not prove those policies improved outcomes for patients.

What the source does—and does not—establish

Helps us compare different past investigations. It does not measure whether sexual harm by healthcare workers became less common.
