‘Improving health and care: the role of the outcomes frameworks’ sets out how the 3 outcomes frameworks, Adult Social Care, the NHS and Public Health, work together to achieve the desired outcomes for the health and care system.
The ‘Improving health and care: the role of the outcomes frameworks’ document explains the principles behind the outcomes frameworks, including:
- how they support quality improvement for individuals
- demonstrates how the 3 frameworks are aligned
- the role of shared and complementary indicators
- sets out how they will work together in practice to help the system address the challenges facing the health and care system
This supporting account should be read alongside the individual outcomes frameworks, which for the first time, have been refreshed and published simultaneously.
The Department will continue to work with the system to improve the alignment of the outcomes frameworks from the overarching level down to the detail of individual measures. Your feedback and comments are welcome.
