The Care Quality Commission's (CQC) new assessment framework marks a significant shift in how care providers are evaluated. Gone are the days of focusing solely on a single inspection "snapshot." Now, the CQC emphasises ongoing data collection and a demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement.
CQC-Prep™ is purpose-built software designed to help care providers not only understand these changes but excel within this new model. Here's how it transforms challenges into opportunities:
Challenge #1: The Stress of Constant Inspection-Readiness
The old CQC model often led to spikes in anxiety surrounding inspections. Care homes scrambled to gather evidence and address issues just in time. This made truly prioritising long-term quality improvement difficult.
The CQC-Prep™ Solution: Self-Assessment for Continuous Progress
Aligned with CQC Standards: CQC-Prep's framework mirrors the CQC's Quality Statements, ensuring your self-assessments are always focused on the right criteria.
Evidence-Based: Easily attach documents, policies, and other data to justify your ratings, making it clear you're not just making subjective claims.
Not Just a Checklist: Thorough analysis features help you pinpoint the root cause of any shortcomings, driving actionable improvement plans that lead to lasting progress.
Challenge #2: Meeting the CQC's Increased Data Demands
