Kings Fund 12 October 2015
- Following a review of approaches to measure the performance of health services within CCG areas, the Kings Fund makes a number of recommendations including:
- a radical simplification and alignment of existing NHS performance frameworks including merging of the three national Outcomes Frameworks into a single framework covering the NHS, public health and adult social care.
- a small set of headline indicators are selected to present key performance information to the public with a larger set of indicators should be available to enable patients and the public to drill down into population groups and medical conditions of particular interest to them and to support commissioners and providers in quality improvement.
- a reduction in the national bodies involved in assessing performance
- a wide variety of data should be made available for the purpose of transparency
