How will Quality Accounts be tailored for different types of provider?
As well as providing a statement on the quality of care offered by the organisation and a description of the priorities for quality improvement, provider organisations will be asked to select and report on indicators covering the three domains of quality set out in High Quality Care for All: safety, effectiveness and experience, which are relevant to the services their organisation provides. A small amount of content is mandated through regulations, which were consulted on during Autumn 2009 and laid before parliament in February. The aim of the nationally requested information is to provide a degree of consistency and comparability across provider Quality Accounts, based on cross cutting issues relating to quality.
