NICE pathways
NICE Pathways NICE Pathways • present all NICE guidance for a specific subject • include NICE guidance and NICE quality standards • Link to NICE implementation resources (e.g. costing and commissioning resources, training resources) • offer an easy and intuitive way to access NICE guidance
Quality standards

How to use NICE quality standards Help to identify local priorities for quality improvement • NICE quality standards can highlight key areas for improvement. An initial assessment should consider: – relevance to the organisation – how services compare – what evidence is available – actions to improve – risks of not improving
Sources of information to support initial assessment could include: • baseline assessments/actions plans for NICE clinical guidelines • new or existing service user feedback • complaints or Serious Untoward Incidents (SUIs) • audit information (including national audit data) • prescribing or activity data • views of the service/team • process maps • service user experience interviews
The initial assessment • A positive assessment can: – provide assurance – could be included in the trust’s quality account or organisation’s quality profile • An assessment indicating areas requiring quality improvement can: – inform local quality improvement work/programme planning – support discussions with commissioners • Inform the organisation’s annual audit programme (by identifying priority areas for audit) and business planning • Inform local risk management, in collaboration with the service’s commissioners
Do we require our service providers to include advice about physical activity in the feedback that we give to parents? Is this reflected in the service specification? What is the content of the advice – does it include information about local opportunities to be physically active? What format is this advice in and at what stage is it given?
Endorsement statement for Living well through activity in care homes “This toolkit supports statements on participating in meaningful activity and personal identity in the NICE quality standard for mental wellbeing of older people in care homes .
