An overview of the CQC’s new approach
CQC Comprehensive Inspections
Comprehensive inspections will be announced
Core services to be inspected
CQC inspection teams will prepare for the inspection by analysing data from a
range of sources
Will contact the provider prior to the inspection with a specific list of
information they need
CQC inspectors may return unannounced during the two weeks after the
inspection to explore further or to confirm their findings
CQC Comprehensive Inspections – So
what does that mean for SHFT
Have been informed - CQC will be inspecting us from 6th – 10th October 2014.
Will include all health & social care services (MH, LD, ASDs, Children’s & TQ21)
Core services to be inspected
•
Inpatient wards (all wards), community services (sampling approach) & Social
Care (sampling of homes, domiciliary and supported living services)
CQC have already requested data from us –10days to respond
Info requested to-date: organisation charts (lines of accountability & reporting); list of
all services – locations, what they do, contacts, opening times etc.;
performance data; Board papers; policies; SIRIs; Complaints; audit reports
Further requests for more detailed info will come over next few weeks &
months
5 key questions the CQC will ask
Is the service Safe?
Is the service Effective?
Is the service Caring?
Is the service Responsive (to people’s needs?)
Is the service Well-led?
How the CQC will make their judgements
Will be looking for ‘Good’
CQC have defined the characteristics of good and have Key Lines of Enquiry
(KLOEs) to direct the focus of the inspection
How the CQC will make their judgements
Inspection teams will use evidence from 4 main sources to answer the KLOEs
What will happen after the inspection?
CQC award ratings on each of the five key questions
This will help people to compare services
