2-1 DEVISE A STRATEGY AND CRITERIA FOR MEAUSRING RECENT CHANGES IN
HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE o o
Measuring change in health care organisations needs critical analysis and examination, using a
PESTEL analysis template would be the first thing that a manager could use to measure recent changes that have taken place in the company. Devising a strategy within health care can be local or national level, incorporating a different size of area or concentration upon a particular area or aspect of health will allow managers to asses more resourcefully, articulating a stratagem can be via a individual or cross-departmental agency or cross-government programme. “Most of the government strategies are currently being developed with inter-departmental; consultation which would be aspects like the Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives. Cross-government strategy for England and this approach is also undertaken at a local level e.g. Children and Young People Plans”. - Health
Knowledge, (2010). Strategy communication and strategy implementation in relation to health care.

Benchmarking is an essential criteria and strategy to use when measuring quality as it allows you to compare and analyse the critical information between two companies and make a decision as to who is succeeding in the two different types of changes made. Data is also a quality and change measuring method as the information that is fed into the indicators are anonymous and without context and comparators, data has infrequently significant meaning. A dashboard is a indicator od the most relevant indicators for managers to be able to measure the quality of the recent changes.
Also a summary measure targets to aid define in a few numbers as much detail as conceivable about a system to help recognize, relate, forecast, develop and invent.
