What are you doing to minimise the burden on providers, especially clinical staff?
The Indicators for Quality Improvement will initially consist of indicators derived from existing data collections. There are many areas in which indicator development is happening in its own right, eg the development of Patient Reported Outcome Measures, but the Measuring for Quality Improvement Programme itself is not explicitly mandating new data collections at this time. However, in time as indicator coverage is improved (eg. by developing new indicators), this will need to take account of current processes for agreeing new data collections, for example through the existing Review of Central Returns.
