Quality Profiles are a summary of Indicators, benchmarked so that organisations can compare their performance against the national and regional averages. These profiles are used by both commissioners and providers in helping them identify and understand where improvements need to be made.
The three key areas of quality – patient safety, clinical effectiveness, and patient experience. There are many indicators and the profiles do not include everything. We are working hard to refine and improve the profiles both in terms of presentation and what is included.
