The Quintuple Aim
Working together, the multidisciplinary team are stronger in protecting, promoting, and improving health and care for all, therefore evaluation against the Quintuple Aim connects local outcomes with the wider health policy context. This approach enables teams, organisations and the system to look at care through a defined lens and use that to drive their decision making to achieve common goals.
The Quintuple Aim provides a set of aspirations for healthcare and will serve as a framework for measurable improvement. The NIPEC Quality Excellence Framework is available for more information
