Quality of Scottish Morbidity Record (SMR) data
Abstract
SMR1 is an episode based record relating to all inpatients and day cases discharged from non psychiatric, non obstetric wards in Scottish hospitals. A record is raised when a patient is discharged from hospital, changes consultant or is transferred to another hospital. SMR1 records contain clinical and non clinical data. Approximately 1 million records are created annually.
