With growing focus upon performance review and monitoring, the awareness and use of performance indicators throughout a number of public services has increased. For social care organisations it is increasingly a requirement that data be available to make performance review possible. Set within a national context, this book reviews the historical development and measurement issues of performance indicators within social care and the public sector for older people. The book provides an approach to effective local performance measurement in services for older people and organising framework within which organisations can arrange their performance appraisal for older people's services. It examines the development of performance review in social care of older people; examines the process of developing local performance measures and engaging staff in enquiry and quality management; and reviews the process of development of performance indicators and their utilisation at an agency level.

Describes a framework for establishing local performance indicators for community-based social care, with an emphasise on care management. The framework has been developed by the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) in collaboration with Cheshire Social Services Department. The framework is for services for older people and people with mental health problems, but can be readily modified to accommodate other groups of adult service users.
