Within IPC there were three core streams of activity leading to desired outcomes.

These three streams are around empowered individuals, sustainable commissioning and a vibrant market of providers. The main impact agreed across sites was the improved quality of life for patients and their carers. Reduced institutional and acute care, and more efficient use of money and resources, were also identified across sites as overall impacts for IPC.

There are differences in how well prepared each site is for an evaluation.

All are in a position to draw upon and adapt the generic theory of change model and therefore have a model that can be evaluated. However, each site has recognised that they are unlikely to get it right the first time and that they will want to adapt and improve their activities.
