Example of good dissemination plans in grant applications QuICN community nursing study – Funded by NIHR HS&DR Aims and objectives The aim of this research is to study the selection, application and usefulness of CQUIN and other quality indicators for community nursing to identify benefits (and drawbacks) for service users and NHS staff with the goal of improving these schemes to maximise their impact on patient care. We are proposing to conduct a mixed methods study which includes a national survey of quality indicator schemes, followed by five in-depth qualitative case studies and the testing of the transferability of the findings with a further ten sites. Research Questions 1. Which CQUIN and other quality indicators are selected locally, regionally and nationally for community nursing? 2. How are they selected and applied? 3. What is their usefulness to service users, commissioners and community provider staff? Objectives 1. To map quality indicator schemes in use for community nursing to understand which indicators are selected. 2. To identify the processes for the selection of CQUIN and other quality indicators for community nursing at local, regional and national level including which indicators are chosen, their source and the rationale for inclusion. 3. To clarify the processes for introducing and applying quality indicator schemes into community nursing services and understand how data is collected, analysed and quality assured. 4. To explore the usefulness of indicators in terms of meeting priorities, assessing the quality of services, influencing commissioning decisions and bringing about changes in service delivery from the perspective of service users, front line teams and commissioners. 5. To produce actionable messages and good practice recommendations to disseminate proactively to service users, NHS staff, DH policy makers, NICE and academic audiences to improve the selection, application and usefulness of quality indicator schemes for community nursing. Plans for disseminating the findings of this research There are five key audiences for this research, these are: A. commissioning organisations (such as Clinical Commissioning Groups, Commissioning Support Units and NHS England) B. community nursing service provider staff C. patients and the public D. external statutory organisations (such as Department of Health, NHS Information Centre, NICE, Quality Observatories) E. academia
