Covalent for NHS Organisations

The 2010 white paper Equity and Excellence - Liberating the NHS is driving radical structural reform in the NHS market by placing GPs and other clinicians at the heart of commissioning, and redefining the role of other NHS organisations. The NHS Operating Framework and the NHS Outcomes agreement describe the national priorities, system levers and enablers needed for NHS organisations to maintain and improve the quality of services provided.

Covalent supports both commissioning and provider organisations manage performance in line with requirements of the economic regulator, Monitor, the Care Quality Commission and the embryonic Commissioning Board, as well as the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), the CQUIN framework and the NHSLA/CNST risk management standards.
