The QIPP end of life care workstream blog
This blog is a work in progress designed to support those involved with the NHS QIPP end of life care workstream. It aims to bring together good practice and stimulate open and frank debate on how we can deliver a good death.
Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP)
The quality, innovation, productivity and prevention (QIPP) challenge is about delivering high quality care in a tighter economic climate. End of life care is one of the twelve QIPP workstreams. It focuses on improving systems and practice for identifying people as they approach the end of life and planning their care, in particular for high risk groups, such as those in residential and nursing homes.
