Our objectives
• Quality: to be recognised as a provider of safe and effective services that people want to use

• Sustainability: to be recognised as a provider of safe and innovative services that helps commissioners achieve their outcomes
Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust: providing services across Cambridgeshire, Luton, Norfolk, Peterborough and Suffolk
• We will only know if we are effective and if we are improving the care given to people if we ask our service users about their health and outcomes
• (process measures don’t tell us if what we do is working)

Using the EQ-5D-5L Value Sets
• A list of 3127 values is available. The values are set on a scale where
• 1 = full health through to • 0 = death (minus values are
states “worse than death” e.g. coma or severe intractable pain) So a Health State 11111 = 1 (Full health) 55555 = -0.594 (State worse than death)
• example: 2 3 4 2 1 = 0.516 (or, roughly, as a percentage of full health 51.6%)
11111 1.000 11112 0.879 11113 0.848 11114 0.635 11115 0.414 11121 0.837 11122 0.768 11123 0.750 11124 0.537 11125 0.316 11131 0.796 11132 0.740 11133 0.725 11134 0.512 11135 0.291 11141 0.584 11142 0.527 11143 0.513 etc
