The Efficiency and Productivity Delivery Framework aims to support NHSScotland as part of an ongoing commitment to evidence based clinical practice by improving consistency of care, reducing clinical variation, reducing costs and creating the right cultural and organisational conditions required to support change.

Developing an Efficiency and Productivity Delivery Framework that is clearly embedded within an overall integrated quality framework will enable NHSScotland to drive forward consistent and unified goals for quality improvement and is as part of an ongoing commitment to evidence based clinical practice, improving consistency of care, reducing variation and creating the right culture and organisational conditions required to support transformational change.

This Framework sets out the first phase of the programme of work to achieve tangible efficiency and productivity gains. The plan highlights a range of opportunities evidenced by information, through analysis and benchmarking approaches and is closely aligned with NHSScotland's key improvement targets.
