Rather than roll out ReQoL in the traditional way by mandating staff to complete it, we launched ReQoL with the emphasis on developing it as a tool for clinical use. 

We believe this improved the take-up as the value for practice and ultimately for patients was evident, rather than an emphasis on data entry and ‘feeding the beast’.

Our data shows that uptake of ReQoL has improved steadily since its launch. We have had positive feedback from staff and patients about the ease of use and meaningfulness of ReQoL. 

It has been used as a tracker and driver metric as part of our QI programme from December 2018 (see purple band in attached table).
