3. What is the NHS Evidence
QIPP Collection?
• Evidence to support quality and productivity
locally
• Real examples of how staff have made changes
that save money and increase quality
• Aims to provoke ideas and discussions about
changes that can be made locally
• Examples are organised around topic areas
• Examples being added to build a
comprehensive library of evidence.
• NHS Evidence - QIPP collection will help the
NHS identify efficiency savings that can be made
while continuing to deliver high quality care.

4. Why submit Shine projects to QIPP?
• A good way to promote the work you
have been doing and gain recognition as
national beacons
• Adding to a national resource of tried
and tested approaches
• Additional credibility for the work as
reviewed by NICE for economic rigour
• And peer reviewed for feasibility of
spread and the contribution to quality
improvement The Health Foundation

8. Assessment criteria
Gate 1: Amount of resource – savings delivered/anticipated
NICE assessment particularly focussed on this
Gate 2: Quality outcomes – impact on quality
Be explicit on this – don’t expect assessors to read between
the lines
Gate 3: Evidence
• evidence on which the initiative is based
• evidence of deliverables from implementation
Gate 4: Implementability – value/effort assessment
Use your end of project reports for 3 & 4
It will be important to stress that it has been part of an
externally assessed and supported programme

9. What external assessors are
looking for
Accessibility – understanding what was
done
Being convinced that it is generalisable
Concerns about amount of effort required
The availability of documentation and
reports to help other people replicate the
approach
