Summary
DELIVER is a Horizon Europe–funded, multinational quality improvement initiative spanning seven European countries designed to develop a blueprint model for enhancing oral health care quality. Through deliberative dialogue and mixed-methods research across three phases, the project codevelops and coproduces quality improvement approaches with citizens, patients, providers, payers, and policymakers, culminating in the DELIVER Quality Toolkit to support context-specific implementation. The work addresses quality at multiple levels: dental practice, community-based care for vulnerable populations, and service commissioning.
UK applicability
The DELIVER framework and toolkit are directly applicable to United Kingdom oral health systems, particularly for NHS commissioning and quality assurance. The inclusion of England as one of the seven participating countries ensures that findings are grounded in UK regulatory and operational contexts, though transferability will depend on local adaptation to specific English and devolved health service structures.
Key measures
Quality indicators for oral health care; patient-reported outcome and experience measures (PROMs/PREMs); regulatory determinants; context-specific implementation metrics
Outcomes reported
The study describes the development of a multinational quality improvement model and toolkit for oral health care, codeveloped across seven European countries through structured phases involving stakeholder engagement.
