Report of the Shaping the Choreography of Care and Support project
The government's Reshaping Care for Older People (RCOP) agenda highlights the need to change the way we plan and deliver care and support.

The eight case studies include:
Evidence-informed performance indicator series no.2
This review provides an overview of the best available evidence in relation to 'what works' in increasing the percentage of people aged 65 and over with high level care needs who are cared for at home.
This is the aim of one of the Scottish Government's 45 indicators of success in achieving national outcomes identified in the National Performance Framework.

These implications coupled with a desire for public services to be more flexible and personalised to individuals, has led some local authorities to fundamentally redesign their approach to service delivery.
