Guidance framework on the national health and wellbeing outcomes which apply to integrated health and social care. The framework is designed to inform how services are planned across the whole pathway of care, to ensure a focus on individuals, and also the practice changes within integrated multidisciplinary teams, that will make a difference to the care people receive. The nine national health and wellbeing outcomes which apply to integrated health and social care cover: people's ability to look after and improve their own health and wellbeing and live in good health for longer; independence at home or in a homely setting in the community; people's experience of the service and dignity; quality of life of people who use health and social care services; reducing health inequalities; support for unpaid carers; safety from harm; engagement of social care workers; and effective and efficient use of resources.
