Reviews and studies

This section of the website contains information about the Healthcare Commission's current programme of reviews and studies.

Service reviews

Our service reviews look at whether NHS trusts throughout England are delivering high-quality care and treatment to patients and achieving value for money. When designing a service review we use one of two methodologies – either that of an improvement review or that of an acute hospital portfolio review.

Studies

From time to time the Healthcare Commission carries out studies of NHS trusts' and independent providers performance in selected areas. These studies use a variety of approaches based on the needs of the topic.
