A
national approach to health outcome development
- The
Department of Health (DoH) initiated a national approach to health
outcome development in 1993 by setting up a team within the DoH, called
the Central Health Outcomes Unit (CHOU).
-
From 1998-2008 the DoH outsourced the function and the National Centre
for Health Outcomes Development (NCHOD) was established
-
NCHOD comprised teams from Unit of Health-Care Epidemiology (UHCE
- in the Department of Public Health, Oxford University), and the
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
-
Research and development work was undertaken both by UHCE and by LSHTM
- The
London branch took responsibility for the production and publication
of outcome measures.
- This
work was funded by the Department of Health, and then subsequently
the NHS Health and Social Care Information Centre.
