- The impact of the vanguards on health and wellbeing, care and quality, and efficiency is being evaluated nationally using a set of around six high level outcome indicators for each care model type.
- This report presents an update on the evaluation strategy for vanguards covering guidance and plans for local and national evaluation of the new care models programme.
- Figure 1 illustrates how the evaluation supports the overall aims of the new care models programme in terms of understanding the costs and benefits of the care models, and the context and changes needed for replication of the models elsewhere.
- Figure 2 demonstrates the role of evaluation across the lifecycle of the programme.
- The report discusses metrics for each of the new care models and presents these in a core metrics document (Appendix 2).
