The Information Centre for health and social care has launched a new initiative to work more closely with clinicians to improve the quality of data used to measure patient outcomes.

Under the project, the centre.aims to identify clinicians to work with and to examine ways to improve the existing data covering their areas of work.

By doing so, the centre hopes.to enhance the quality of information such as commissioning datasets and the centre's.hospital episodes statistics. This will enable clinicians to benchmark their practice against that of other clinicians nationally. By seeing variations in practice based on more reliable data, they will be stimulated to review and improve the way they work.
