System outcomes framework
Making the shift towards an outcomes-based Integrated Care System
A system outcomes framework is a way of measuring and communicating how we, as an Integrated Care System (ICS), are performing against the ICS aims. This framework is intended to be one of the guiding components for our ICS, uniting all partners with a measurable set of goals for our population.

A system outcomes framework is intended to:
- promote collaboration across the ICS around shared goals
- drive integration of services and support
- drive a focus on prevention
- recognise the importance of wider determinants on people’s lives
- support focus on medium and longer-term improvement
- link outcomes to programmes and projects at the operational level for action.
A Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire System Outcomes Framework has been developed through the Population Health, Prevention and Inequalities virtual team with system-wide engagement and was approved in 2021 by the Healthier Together Partnership.
The framework will be developed over time and it is expected that indicators will be added/removed as appropriate to reflect the context.
