The policy context
Care planning provides a framework to support the policy imperative of ‘no decision about me without me’ prioritorised in the ‘Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS (2010)', and the delivery of shared decision making. It provides a gateway for the delivery of choice through personalisation, personal health budgets, any qualified provider and telehealth and telecare.
YOC supports the QIPP long term conditions work programme. The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) endorses care planning as a professional standard for GPs building on the YOC model. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has included care planning as one of 13 statements within the national Diabetes in Adults Quality Standard (2011) identifying the YOC approach as the vehicle for practical delivery.
