CAMHS Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC)

History

CORC is a grass roots organisation, started in 2002 as a joint initiative between a group of front-line clinicians, managers and administrative leads interested in developing best practice in relation to outcome evaluation to inform service development. CORC opened to wider membership in April 2004 and now has the majority of services across the UK as part of the collaboration and with membership now extending across Scandinavia. CORC is a not for profit learning collaboration which in 2008 was registered as a company limited by guarantee (registration number: 06585227).

Aims

To develop and support the dissemination of a model of routine evaluation of outcome that can be used across a range of services
To help put in place systems to allow the data obtained to inform service providers, commissioners, users and other relevant stakeholders within all collaborating service sites
To collate the data from all CORC members (appropriately anonymised), in order that this can be analysed centrally and the results shared within service area
To collaborate in using outcome information to inform and develop good practice.
