The Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) payment framework was introduced in 2009 to make a proportion of providers’ income conditional on demonstrating improvements in quality and innovation in specified areas of care.
The framework helps make quality part of the commissioner-provider discussion everywhere. The framework has been designed based on feedback from partners in the NHS.
There is no longer a central or regional data collection that can be used to populate the CQUIN measures we have therefore had to remove the data as it was no longer reflective of current services.
