All Age Continuing Care Dataset

The purpose of the collection is for NHS England to monitor application of the National Framework and to be assured of compliance with the NHS England Operating Model and Assurance Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC).

The collection supports a number of frameworks and key work programmes, such as the NHS CHC Operating Model and Assurance Framework, and the Strategic Improvement Programme (which aims to achieve 0.8 billion efficiency savings in CHC by 2020). The information on the CHC collection also links into hospital discharge work.

The collection includes a metric on percentage of assessments carried out in an acute hospital setting, and links into a quality premium to reduce acute assessments to support effective hospital discharge and assessment in the right time and right place. The collection also provides data required for assessing Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) performance against a second quality premium on the number of cases with a decision by the CCG within 28 days from receipt of the checklist (or other notification of potential eligibility).
