Indicators can be used in a number of different settings to support high quality care. These include:
- identifying where improvements are needed
- setting priorities for quality improvement and support
- creating local performance dashboards
- benchmarking performance against national data
- supporting local quality improvement schemes
- showing progress that local health systems are making on outcomes.
