NICE has published quality standards for the assessment, diagnosis and clinical management of chronic heart failure1 in adults, adding to the bank of quality standards already completed. Developed from the best available evidence (usually NICE guidance or NHS Evidence-accredited sources), NICE quality standards are the only healthcare standards that apply nationally in England. They aim to define what quality care is by providing patients, carers and the public, healthcare professionals, commissioners and service providers with clear, easy to understand definitions of high-quality healthcare. NICE quality standards will play a key role in the NHS Outcomes Framework, an overview of aims and objectives in improving patient outcomes in the NHS. www.nice.org.uk/newsroom/pressreleases/CHFQualityStandard.jsp
