Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN)
Claire Cox posted an article in CQUIN
CQUIN stands for Commissioning for Quality and Innovation. This is a system introduced in 2009 to make a proportion of healthcare providers’ income conditional on demonstrating improvements in quality and innovation in specified areas of care. This means that a proportion of a Trusts income depends on achieving quality improvement and innovation goals, agreed between the Trust and its commissioners. The sum attached to the CQUINs is variable each year based on a percentage of the contract value and depends on achieving quality improvement and goals.- Posted

Content ArticleFor some time now I've been looking to find out more about mental health services in Trieste, Italy. Then I met Vincenzo Passante Spaccapietra, co-host of the Place of Safety? podcast series. This has enabled me to learn more about the closure of the mental institutions in Trieste, Italy, and the work of Franco Basaglia. I was keen to find out what really took place, what this really means in practice and how we can adopt this model in the UK. We were delighted to have become involved and to have recorded a couple of podcasts. I recommend this resource to everyone interested in safe, compassionate, patient led mental health care.
