NHS RightCare’s ambition is to reduce unwarranted variation through relentlessly focusing on value in healthcare. It is a proven approach that has both improved outcomes and freed up funds for further innovation where it has been implemented on a pilot basis at local health economy level. RightCare was launched to all health economies in 2016 by NHS England by a team of Delivery Partners and dedicated national functions.

The RightCare approach is a key initiative to drive delivery of the Five Year Forward View (The Five Year Forward View (published October 2014, NHS England) set out a positive decision for the future, based around seven models of care).
