CQUINs :: Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust

CQUINs are quality improvement goals that we can agree to aim for, there is a financial incentive to achieve those aims.

The CQUIN framework is intended to reward excellence, encouraging a culture of continuous quality improvement, whilst delivering better outcomes for patients.

The Trust has worked with its commissioners – the people who ‘buy’ NHS services on behalf of local people - to develop a number of CQUIN targets for completion.

Each Trust’s CQUIN scheme must contain mandatory national CQUINs along with those agreed between MPFT and our commissioners.
