Sharing of good practice and innovation regionally and locally
3.14 The strategic health authorities reported that in most regions, workstream leads actively gather, facilitate and roll-out good practice. The sharing of good practice at regional and local levels occurs in a number of ways. For example:
● through electronic portals such as regional QIPP websites or regional 'sharepoints' where primary care trusts can access each others plans and trackers;
● through newsletters;
● through innovation partnership where clinicians come together in groups to innovate and share information under the QIPP umbrella; and
● through regular regional and local clinical summits.

particularly by avoiding multiple acute admissions.
