A framework for measuring success and continuous improvement

A robust framework for measuring success and enabling continuous improvement is crucial to maintain the long-term effectiveness of the psychosocial matched care system. This framework will allow organisations to track progress, demonstrate the value of the new system and continuously adapt based on outcomes and feedback.

To achieve this, organisations should:

•establish clear baseline measurements before implementation

•assess the availability and robustness of the data to be used to evaluate outcomes (e.g. check cost data is reliable, lag periods are taken into account)

•set realistic short-term and long-term goals

•regularly collect and analyse data

•use both quantitative and qualitative measures

•involve all stakeholders in the evaluation process

•create a culture of continuous learning and improvement
