CQUIN - Commissioning for Quality and Innovation

National standard contracts require commissioners to make 1.5% of contract value for providers to earn.

Goals should reflect local priorities which must be stretching and focused.

CQUIN goals are influenced by:

• Local & national priorities
• Commissioner/provider discussions
• Local clinical engagement
• Patient and public involvement

CQUIN helps to ensure that quality is part of the commissioner-provider discussion everywhere.
