News alert / Shared outcomes toolkit
The Department of Health and Social Care has published guidance on a toolkit that will allow integrated care systems (ICSs) to share experiences and insights for developing shared outcomes across the health and care system. The toolkit aims to develop an approach to shared outcomes, while also customising and adapting for local circumstances. It includes: case studies of good practice; suggestions for overcoming challenges; and example frameworks. The document also sets the context for shared outcomes within existing national oversight and outcomes frameworks and suggests models of delivery for places to consider.
