How we capture information We will hold a Quality and Risk Profile on each provider summarising all relevant information. The Quality and Risk Profile will enable us to assess where risks lie and prompt front line regulatory activity, such as inspection. As new information arrives, it will be added to the profile and assessors and inspectors will be alerted and will take action proportionate to the risk. DRAFT 15
Information capture New information can come from a variety of sources: DRAFT People who use services, families and carers Providers Other regulatory bodies and Information Centre Staff and other professionals Other bodies eg. Ombudsman, commissioners CQC Assessors and Inspectors
Evidence to make a judgement • To determine whether the evidence is adequate and robust, consider the • following points: • ● Is it current? (within 12 months or longer if a long-term focus) • ● Is it reliable? (is the source credible, is the evidence consistent, can it • be validated or triangulated with another source) • ● Is it relevant? (is it related to the regulations, the regulated activities • and CQC’s remit) • ● Is it sufficient? (is there an adequate amount of evidence with • enough detail to make an assessment) • ● Does it demonstrate the quality of outcomes and/or experiences of • people who use services? • ● Does it demonstrate what controls (processes) the provider has in • place?
