New NHS Evidence Specialist Collection – Quality and Productivity

NHS Evidence has launched a new Specialist Collection – Quality and Productivity – which aims to be the central resource of evidence on how to improve quality and productivity in the NHS. Evidence is organised around care pathways.

The collection is being built by contributions from across the NHS and includes examples of innovative practices that can be shared with all staff. The examples of improvements range from one-off staudies in single organisations to robustly tested large scale changes that have been replicated in multiple organisations and have had results published in academic journals.
