Mid-Programme Evaluation of Mental Health and Addiction Quality Improvement Programme

The Commission is a stand-alone Crown Entity, established in November 2010, with a Board responsible to the Minister of Health. The Commission helps private and public providers across the health and disability sector improve service safety and quality.

The Commission is working towards the New Zealand Triple Aim for quality and safety outcomes which means: � improved quality, safety and experience of care � improved health and equity for all populations � better value for public health system resources. Since its inception, the Commission�s quality improvement programmes largely focused on hospital and primary care sectors.

In 2017 the health sector requested, and offered funding towards, a centralised quality improvement programme within the mental health and addiction sector. In July 2017, the Mental Health and Addiction quality improvement programme (�the MHA programme�) commenced within the Commission.

The Health Quality & Safety Commission (the Commission) is seeking a suitably skilled and experienced evaluator to conduct the mid-programme evaluation of the mental health and addiction quality improvement programme. This document sets out the Commission�s procedures and requirements for proposals, which all respondents should follow.
