Single oversight framework (SOF) scores
The Single Oversight Framework (SOF) is designed to help NHS providers attain, and maintain, Care Quality Commission ratings of ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’. The Framework doesn't give a performance assessment in its own right.
Trusts are given a SOF score from 1 to 4. What the SOF segment scores mean.
How it works
The Framework will help us identify NHS providers' potential support needs across five themes:
- quality of care
- finance and use of resources
- operational performance
- strategic change
- leadership and improvement capability
