The nine outcomes provide a framework for measuring the impact of integrated health and social care on the health and wellbeing of individuals.
Progress of delivering on the outcomes and a core suite of performance indicators are reported in our Annual Report.
By working with individuals and local communities, we will support people to achieve the following outcomes:
- Healthier living: People are able to look after and improve their own health and wellbeing and live in good health for longer.
- Independent living: People, including those with disabilities, long-term conditions, or who are frail, are able to live as far as reasonably practicable, independently at home, or in a homely setting, in their community.
- Positive experiences: People who use health and social care services have positive experiences of those services, and have their dignity respected.
- Quality of life: Health and social care services are centred on helping to maintain or improve the quality of life of service users.
- Reducing health inequalities: Health and social care services contribute to reducing health inequalities.
- Carers are supported: People who provide unpaid care are supported to look after their own health and wellbeing, including reducing any negative impact of their caring role on their own health and well-being.
- People are safe: People who use health and social care services are safe from harm.
- Engaged workforce: People who work in health and social care services are supported to continuously improve the information, support, care and treatment they provide, and feel engaged with the work they do.
- Resources are used effectively and efficiently: To deliver best value and ensure scarce resources are used effectively and efficiently in the provision of health and social care services.
The nine outcomes provide a framework for measuring the impact of integrated health and social care on the health and wellbeing of individuals.
