Summary
The NHS Outcomes Framework (NHS OF) is a set of indicators developed by the Department of Health and Social Care to monitor the health outcomes of adults and children in England. The framework provides an overview of how the NHS is performing. This report provides information about the indicators updated in this release.
Proposals for changes to the NHS Outcomes Framework were proposed as part of a wide ranging consultation on statistical outputs that ran from December 2023 to March 2024. The results of this consultation are now in their final stages of approval.
The latest publication updates five of the NHS OF indicators that are expected to continue in future, regardless of the results of the consultation.
Highlights
The February 2025 release provides new data for the following indicators:
- 2.3.i Unplanned hospitalisation for chronic ambulatory care sensitive conditions
- 2.3.ii Unplanned hospitalisation for asthma, diabetes and epilepsy in under 19s
- 3a Emergency admissions for acute conditions that should not usually require hospital admission
- 3.2 Emergency admissions for children with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs)
- 5.1 Deaths from venous thromboembolism (VTE) related events within 90 days post discharge from hospital
