1. The Quality Observatory

2. What High Quality Care for All said: We will ask each SHA to establish a formal Quality Observatory, building on existing analytical arrangements, to:  Enable local benchmarking  Support the development of metrics  Help frontline staff innovate and improve services Expectation that each Quality Observatory will:  Make information available through portals such as NHS Evidence and NHS Choices

3. Some Core Principles Structure:  No centrally prescribed model – but, regardless of whether a virtual network or centralised service, must have a clear point of access / “front door”  Should seek to build on, rather than duplicate, existing infrastructure and the work of existing institutions / networks e.g. PHO’s, Regional Audit Teams, Cancer Registries etc  Should be effectively networked with each other and with national organisations e.g. Information Centre, to avoid duplication and share best practice  Should cover all sectors of health and social care Governance:  Should be accountable to the SHA  Should have a clearly defined process for setting a work programme that is responsive to clinical priorities / local & regional strategies, involving all stakeholders e.g. patients, public, clinical staff, providers and commissioners  Should form an integral part of overall SHA strategy for quality assurance and improvement Functions (General)  Promote and support the development of quality indicators as a tool for quality improvement; and  Provide support to clinical leaders to act on the information and achieve quality improvements
