  Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

  The Integrated Resource Framework (IRF) has been developed to assist health and social care partners in Scotland to provide financial and activity information to inform the process of service redesign by clinicians and care professionals and to facilitate re-alignment of resources to improve patient and population level outcomes through shifts in the balance of care. A small number of test sites around Scotland are trialling the Framework.

  The overall aims of this evaluation are to monitor progress in the test sites; to assess the impact of the work of the test sites; to feed evidence back into the process of change itself; and to draw out implications from the findings for other partnerships moving towards financial and resource integration within and across health and adult social care services in Scotland in the future. The research will also inform further implementation of the IRF across Scotland and will evidence the extent to which such integration could contribute to the Scottish Government’s aim of improving health and social care outcomes for local people and shifting the balance of care.
