I am advised that the department is currently developing the Health Care Homes evaluation plan. That plan will outline the broad categories of measures to be collected, of which relevant clinical indicators will only be a part. The choice of indicators will be informed by an evidence based assessment of the likely impacts of the model and an analysis of systematic reviews of similar models. Consideration will be given to existing indicators in the selection of indicators for the broad categories of measures. The evaluation of health care homes will examine the effect of the model on quality of care, patient and provider experience, practice behaviour, service usage and cost impacts. It will explore how the model works in various situations and settings and a look at what works best for different patients and practice types and in different communities with varying demographics. The evaluation will also consider the implementation process.
