Based on the best available evidence of what works and is cost effective, NICE resources can inform the development and implementation of STPs to:
improve quality and safety by supporting standardisation to evidence-based best practice for your key clinical priorities
improve productivity
prevent ill health and promote wellbeing
engage patients and communities
drive and measure quality improvement
NICE is committed to supporting the delivery of the Five Year Forward View, which sets a clear vision for health and social care across England based on the triple aim of improved population health, quality of care and financial sustainability aiming to integrate and transform services so they better meet the needs of people who use them.
NICE is a member of the Five Year Forward View Board, and has a continuing role in enabling the implementation of the vision and commitments set out in the Forward View.
We are working with partners to support transformation, offer system leadership, encourage greater alignment across national bodies, deliver consistent messages and reduce duplication.
We also offer practical support to Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) at a regional and local level.

13. What are NICE guidance and quality standards?
Evidence
Guidance
Quality
Standards
A set of systematically developed recommendations to guide decisions for a particular area of care or health issue
Most people who are aware of NICE will be familiar with NICE guidelines. NICE guidelines make evidence-based recommendations on a wide range of topics, from preventing and managing specific conditions to planning broader services and interventions to improve the health of communities.
They describe what is effective (what will result in the best outcomes) and what is cost effective (best value for money). They are developed to guide decisions made about health and care (for practitioners, providers, commissioners, service planners and users) and aim to promote integrated care where appropriate.
For more information: Programmes/NICE-guidance/NICE-guidelines
NICE guidelines are developed by independent committees and are based on a wide range of evidence sources. These examples show the breadth of evidence that will be considered depending on the topic question and the types of evidence available. The guideline committee also has the option of inviting additional topic experts to provide advice in the absence of published evidence, and the option to call for evidence (i.e. ask stakeholders if they are aware of anything).
NICE consults on the scope and the draft of each guideline. To register as a stakeholder so that your organisation can comment on guideline scopes and draft guidelines go to:
NICE Quality Standards set out the priority areas for quality improvement in health and social care. They cover areas where there is variation in care. Each standard gives you:
a set of statements to help you improve quality and information on how to measure progress.
For more information:
Research studies - experimental and observational, quantitative and qualitative, process evaluations, descriptions of experience, case studies
A NICE quality standard is a concise set of statements designed to drive and measure priority quality improvements.
