Care Quality Commission - registration and compliance
Helping you through registering with the CQC
All sorts of healthcare providers now come under the CQC - and they all have to be fully registered by April 2010. You won't be allowed to register unless you comply with the CQC requirements. Here's what we can do for you -
- Review your aims and objectives and help you get them clear
- Review your existing policies and procedures, and amend as necessary
- Establish a full 'paper trail' (see below)
- We ensure you correctly complete the CQC registration documentation
- Staff training - we make sure your people understand the CQC requirements
'Paper trail ' - setting up due diligence documentation
Your documentation system has to be properly designed to satisfy the CQC. Here's how we can help you:
- We write policies and procedures that reflect your working practices
- Set up systems for monitoring training - so you have evidence of training undertaken and planned, and keep track of records and certificates
- Environmental design - document the assessment of all your working areas to demonstrate risk assessment
Audits
Audits can cause unnecessary concern - we help you to correctly prepare for them and start to use them positively to improve your organisation.
- The basics - we train your staff in what an audit is for and what it involves
- Training - we train your people in how to correctly complete an audit
- Pre-audits - we carry out a full equivalent audit to identify areas for improvement
- Using audits positively - we show you how to use audit results to continuously improve your procedures and policies
