Operational Forum - July
Whilst the day-to-day delivery of care may not change, all CQC-regulated services providing care will need to be aware of and prepared for the significant changes in CQC’s approach, including frequency of assessment by CQC, the criteria against which the care will be assessed (including a couple of new areas which will be subject to scrutiny), and the process for determining ratings.
In this online forum, Nicole Ridgwell, Healthcare Partner at ARCO Affiliate Lester Aldridge, will summarise the key changes and actions that CQC-regulated services should be taking now to understand the Single Assessment Framework and prepare for their next inspections.
