Indicator advisory committee (IAC)

We work with an independent indicator advisory committee (IAC) to develop indicators suitable for inclusion in the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) and the Clinical Commissioning Group Outcome Indicator Set (CCG OIS).

NICE indicators can also be used by other stakeholders for other national or local quality improvement initiatives.

The members of the committee include:

primary and secondary care professionals
commissioners
public health and social care professionals
patients or service users and their carers
academics.

They do not represent their organisations but are selected for their expertise, experience of working with multidisciplinary and lay colleagues, and understanding of indicator development and quality improvement.

Where required, topic experts are also invited to help inform the committee's discussions and decision making.
