PURPOSE: TO DEVELOP AN ACCREDITATION SYSTEM FOR MENTAL HEALTH ICPS

Commitment 6 in Delivering for Mental Health (2006) states that NHS QIS would accredit ICPs from 2008 onwards. Since publication of the ICP standards in December 2007, discussions have been taken forward in-house and with key stakeholders on the purpose and key principles of an accreditation model, and how best to develop a process that is proportionate, cohesive and supports quality improvement in mental health services.

Once ICPs are in place and functioning, the data that they capture, the analysis of that data and resulting improvements to services will provide the evidence required for accreditation.~
