Insights for the 10 Year Plan for Health
The Good Care Framework. What does good care look like? The good care framework was developed from what local people told us in our Big Conversation.
We asked local people open-ended questions about what good health and care means to them. At community events and in focus groups we helped local people to draw out what their own vision of good care would look like.
We took what they told us and and started to use qualitative data coding to identify themes, these themes eventually developed into the good care framework and our four pillars of good care, or four aspects of what makes the difference between good care and inadequate care. We also looked at the wider issues that impact good care at a society level-the wider determinants.
