A National Service Framework for Older People was published in March 2001. Just as the NSF was developed with input from older people and their relatives, this new ambition reflects what older people want of the new care system. Although overt age discrimination is now uncommon in our care system, there are still deep-rooted negative attitudes and behaviours towards older people. Within five years, it is the ambition is to ensure that older people and their families will have confidence that in all care settings, older people will be treated with respect for their dignity and their human rights.

This document introduces 43 indicators for quality improvement for voluntary, local use in a community setting. These carefully chosen quality indicators are designed to assist local service improvement and help to raise the standard of care delivered to patients and communities. The indicators are grouped into the following categories: health and wellbeing; children and families; acute care; rehabilitation; long term conditions; end of life; general. To get the best from the community indicators, it is important to select those that measure what is valued and what matters to the people who use local services, and which instigate and inform dialogue about where improvement is needed. These indicators should help clinicians and frontline services to measure and monitor quality improvement, by indicating where change is needed and demonstrating what high quality personalised care looks like.
