In July 2022, the CQC outlined a new single assessment framework for providers. The framework will focus on a system that connects its registration activity to its quality assessments and offers a structure with greater transparency. They are moving away from their old approach of ‘monitor, inspect, and rate’ and working towards a more flexible system where inspections won’t be determined by the frequency and where the ongoing assessment of quality will be proportionate to risk. The CQC will regulate in a smarter way by adapting and responding to risk, uncertainty and demand, understanding the quality of care in a local area or system to improve it and keep people safe.
The New Framework The CQC assessment framework is based on five key questions and its well known rating system. They’ll use it to set out their view of quality and make judgments. The CQC will start introducing it in phases and will be clear when it will directly affect health and care providers. The CQC is publishing its new framework now so that providers and other stakeholders can become familiar with it. The Care Quality Commission website offers more contexts about their new CQC regulatory model.
Why they are changing There are three reasons why they need to make a change: The CQC will need to make things simpler in order to focus on what matters to people. They need to better reflect on how care is delivered by services and across a local area. They need a framework that connects their registration activity to their quality assessments.
What’s Different? The CQC confirmed that their quality ratings and five key questions will stay central to their approach. However, they’re replacing their key lines of enquiries (KLOEs) and prompts with new “quality statements”. These will reduce the duplication in their four current assessment frameworks and allow them to focus on specific topic areas under each key question, linking to the relevant regulations makes it easier for providers.
To make their judgments more structured and consistent, the CQC developed six categories for the evidence it will collect: • People’s experiences, • Feedback from staff & leaders, • Observations of care, • Feedback from partners, • Processes, • Outcomes of care.
Building on Strong Engagement The CQC has developed its new assessment framework following almost nine months of engagement and thousands of interactions with providers, people who use the services and other stakeholders. Through feedback, the CQC discovered stakeholders supported the simplicity of the new framework. Having just thirty-four topic areas across five key questions means that providers will understand what they’re looking for in CQC assessments.
