The scenario
In order to fully support the Generating Evidence in Multiple Sclerosis Service (GEMSS) research undertaken by the MS Trust, Wilmington Healthcare undertook detailed analysis of hospital episodes statistics (HES) data to understand why people were being admitted to hospital. This was in an effort to provide an outline of which issues should receive focus in order to improve the outcomes of people with MS. This work was supported through a grant for Biogen Ltd, who had no involvement with the report.
The objective
To identify the main reasons for emergency admission in multiple sclerosis which enables hospital trusts and CCGs to understand the main areas they need to address to improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital admissions.
