Evaluate: Impact on Individuals, Communities and Local System

EVALUATE: impact on individuals, communities and local systems

The initial suite of outcome metrics (see table) will provide a clear picture of the current achievement level and degree of variation at organisation level across the North East and North Cumbria.

The suite has been developed in collaboration with the North East Quality Observatory Service (NEQOS, https://www.neqos.nhs.uk/) and the North of England Commissioning Support Unit, Business Intelligence (NECS, https://www.necsu.nhs.uk/).

Presently, the metrics are based on a review of regional and national work and will be refined over time
