NICE – New "Quality Standard" on End-of-Life Care
On Thursday, NICE announced that one of its new “quality standards” to be developed in 2010-11 will be for the management of end-of-life care.
NICE quality standards are a set of specific, concise statements that act as markers of high-quality, cost-effective patient care, covering the treatment and prevention of different diseases and conditions.
NICE quality standards enable:
- Health and social care professionals to make decisions about care based on the latest evidence and best practice.
- Patients to understand what service they can expect from their health and social care providers.
- NHS Trusts to quickly and easily examine the clinical performance of their organisation and assess the standards of care they provide
- Commissioners to be confident that the services they are providing are high quality and cost effective
