NJR Annual Clinical Reports (ACRs)
NJR Annual Clinical Reports (ACRs) – Financial Year 2025/26
The NJR data collection and monitoring system presents hospital management staff with a range of reports to provide a thorough overview of key indicators of their hospital’s orthopaedic surgical performance.
ACR reports use NJR data for the most recent complete financial year and cover:
- Indicators of data quality: rates of compliance, patient consent and linkability.
- Hip and knee replacement outcomes data (funnel plots), for revision for all hospitals and surgeons (anonymised), across procedure types.
- Hospital outcomes data for hip and knee replacement (funnel plots) for mortality.
The following changes, broken down by the section to which they relate, have been made to this year’s report:
Indicator Summary
The overall hospital consent rate indicator and corresponding thermometer have been removed and replaced with:
- Hospital Elective Consent Rate
- Hospital Trauma Consent Rate
Section 2: Data Quality from the trust/group/hospital
Consent rate for the hospital(s) tables: the ‘Overall Consent Rate’ table has been removed.
Section 6: Data Quality Audit
This section now shows the latest three completed audit years, rather than the latest three financial years shown in other sections of the report.
