Trustee Dashboard

The board's view of a trust hospital. Operations done, cost per surgical episode and per patient, how much the trust carried, patients treated free and whether zakat was spent within the rules.

The Trustee Dashboard answers what a board of trustees asks: how many operations, what they cost, what a patient costs, how much of it the trust carried, how many were treated free, and whether zakat was spent within the rules.

Before you begin

• You need the HIMS reports view right.
• The charity figures come from Donations & Funds: funds, welfare bands and cover on bills.
• The zakat tiles need a fund of type Zakat.

Where to find it

Open Hospital → Overview → Trustee Dashboard.

Pick the period

Click Last 12 months, This year, Last quarter or Last year.

Read the dashboard

The tiles at the top show:

• Operations done, and the Cost per surgical episode, which counts all charges of the stay.
• Patients treated, with the average per patient.
• Carried by the trust, as a share of what was billed.
• Treated free or subsidised.
• Zakat: received, and how much was spent within the rules.

The charts below show Operations per month with the most done, Cost per patient, by month, Free patients split into Paying, Partly subsidised and Free, and Zakat compliance.

Each chart has a link to the full report in the Reports Library, such as Case mix report.

Common questions

The Zakat tile says no zakat fund set up. Add a fund with the type Zakat on Donations & Funds.

Treated free shows none in this period. No bill in the period was covered by a welfare band. See Give a charity discount (welfare cover).
