The Quality in Care Excellence in Oncology 2013 Awards categories support one or more of the domains as defined by the NHS Outcomes Framework 2013/14 to help the health and care system to focus on measuring outcomes.
Built on the two previous frameworks, the NHS Outcomes Framework 2013/14 indicators are grouped around five domains, which set out the high-level national outcomes that the NHS should be aiming to improve.
For each domain, there are a small number of overarching indicators followed by a number of improvement areas. They focus on improving health and reducing health inequalities:
Domain 1 Preventing people from dying prematurely
Domain 2 Enhancing quality of life for people with long-term illnesses
Domain 3 Helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury
Domain 4 Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care
Domain 5 Treating and caring for people in a safe environment; and protecting them from avoidable harm.

All categories are open to teams or individuals working in the NHS, private sector, voluntary or commercial sectors, either within or across sectors.
