  5. Common Definition of Quality International Association of Homes & Services for the Ageing (IAHSA) • Global quality improvement initiative • Characteristics of the ‘ideal quality ageing services’ provider • Person-directed care • Continuous quality improvement • Workforce excellence • Leadership & integration • Innovation • Community Involvement

  6. The role of the LA • Create a vision for quality across the local care market • Provide a focus on local priorities • Define the improvement challenge • Manage quality within its own operation • Influence provider quality (via contracts, market position statements, relationships) • Report on standards across the market

  7. The Role of the Provider • Care Standards legislation requires Regulated Providers to: • Establish and maintain a quality system • Review and improve quality of care • Make quality system reports available to the Regulators • Consult with Service Users and Representatives • No such requirement for Unregulated Providers • Micro Providers, Personal Assistants etc. • Need to encourage & incentivise suitable approaches

  8. Strategies for Improving Quality • Vision & Leadership for Quality • Recognised standards (CQC Essential Standards, ISO 9000 etc) • Bias towards local priorities • Quality Management System • Audit - compliance, performance, processes & systems • Evaluation - aims, objectives, activities, outputs, outcomes, costs • Research – benchmarks, models, learning • Feedback – service users, staff • Improvement Plans • Organisational learning • Support mechanisms & incentives

  9. Model Systems • Nationally / Internationally recognised • Sector-specific / Service-specific • In-house • Off-the-shelf • Support Mechanisms & Incentives

  10. Quality Management Systems - Desirable Features • Must be owned & led by the organisation (can’t be imposed) • Evidence based, relevant • Person-centred, outcome focused • Informed by service user feedback • Stimulates action & change • Holds the organisation to account • Is transparent whilst remaining confidential • Council on Quality Leadership (CQL) – 8 key factors / 34 success indicators

  11. (Inter)nationally Recognised Systems For example TQM, EFQM, ISO 9000, IIP, EQM, SERVQUAL etc • Industry-wide, but can be applied to H&SC subject to some adaptation of language & context • Can be resource-hungry • More suited to larger organisations • Risk of adding to ‘management control’ at the expense of service improvement

Sector-specific and Service-specific Systems • E-QALIN (European Quality Improving Learning in Residential Care Homes) • CQL Guide to Person Centred Excellence (Disability, Mental Illness, Older Adults) • Care Fit for VIPS (Dementia Care) • Outcomes STAR (various) • PEARL quality accreditation programme (Four Seasons Health Care)
