The NHS System Oversight Framework 2021/22 applies to all Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), CCGs, NHS trusts and foundation trusts. The framework:

a. provides clarity to integrated care systems (ICSs), trusts and commissioners on how NHS E/I will monitor performance; sets expectations on working together to maintain and improve the quality of care; and describes how identified support needs to improve standards and outcomes will be co-ordinated and delivered
b. will be used by NHS E/I regional teams to guide oversight of ICSs at system, place-based and organisation level as well as decisions about the level and nature of delivery support they may require
c. describes how NHS E/I will work with the Care Quality Commission and other partners at national, regional and local level to ensure our activities are aligned
d. introduces a new integrated and system focused Recovery Support Programme (RSP) that replaces the previously separate quality and finance ‘special measures’ regimes for provider trusts.

A separate document outlines a single set of oversight metrics, applicable to ICSs, CCGs and trusts, which will be used to flag potential issues and prompt further investigation of support needs with ICSs, place-based systems and/or individual trusts and commissioners.

This is a compendium of 63 measures, survey scales and their associated data sources looking at outcomes at the individual level related to ageing and later life.

QualityWatch is assessing what impact the policy to join up services across GPs, hospitals, community services, social care and patients themselves has had on the quality of care in recent years, and whether patients and the public are likely to notice any difference.

What do our indicators tell us about the state of integrated care?

In order to succeed, all STPs will require a basic governance and implementation ‘support chassis’ From April 2017 all NHS organisations will form part of a Sustainability and Transformation Partnership, which will:

Form an STP board drawn from constituent organisations, and establish formal CCG Committees in Common. Where an individual organisation is standing in the way of needed local change and failing to meet their duties of collaboration NHS England will, on the recommendation of the STP, be able to take action to unblock progress.
re/appoint an STP chair/leader using a fair process in line with the national role specification
Ensure the STP has the necessary programme management support by pooling expertise
Be able to propose an adjustment to their geographical boundaries

STPs and their constituent organisations, will be judged by the results they are able to achieve. Metrics will be pulished at STP level

Report of a meeting focused on testing ideas described as accountable care systems, specifically concentrating on whole population budgets and metrics that may be used in the new care models that are prioritising primary care provision.
