High-quality care for people with long-term conditions
The aim of this research was to explore what NHS commissioners actually do to commission care for people with long-term conditions, and how this process might be
improved. The objectives were to:
• identify the organisation and processes associated with effective commissioning
• identify an appropriate set of outcomes for effective commissioning
• draw on experience from other sectors and international health systems
• consider how the learning from this research could be more widely applicable in the NHS.
The research was a comparative case study project, with three in-depth case studies of ‘commissioning communities’: Somerset, the Wirral and Calderdale (subsequently expanded to include Kirklees; details in Table 1). Each case study was based on a primary care trust, but included other organisations involved in planning, funding or delivering care.
