The hospital standardised mortality ratio (HSMR) and the summary hospital mortality index (SHMI) are both in current use in the UK as measures of the performance of acute hospitals.

Whilst many hope that measures of mortality can be used as a surrogate for healthcare quality, this is an evolving area.
