AnnotationThe National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People is a set of standards produced by the Department of Health (DH) in England in 2001 to overhaul the health and social service delivery systems over a 10-year period, and aimed at optimising the care received by older adults. The NSF arose from broader social and health care reforms that likewise sought the establishment of performance assessment, augmented consumer sovereignty, and greater coherence across health and social services. The United States shares with England similar problems with care for its older adults, strategies for improvement, and obstacles to successful implementation of change. (KJ/RH).
