Compliance is a crucial aspect for all health and social care organizations and the term has become synonymous with Care Quality Commission (CQC).
If you are working with care homes or any other healthcare sectors in England, then you might be familiar with the role of CQC. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is England's independent health and social care regulator, set up in 2009. Its goal is to make sure that health and social care services offer individuals safe, effective, compassionate, and high-quality care, and it continually encourages providers to improve their services.
The fundamental standards of CQC are built on the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and the Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009. And all health and social care providers must comply with these regulations.
CQC often carry out detailed inspections of care homes, nursing homes and other healthcare settings to ensure that the fundamental standards of safety and quality are being met. A significant share of compliance inspections is related to various HR operations such as staffing, recruitment, attendance and training of the workforce. The key point of inspection is to check whether the staff have the right qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience to do their job.
CQC pays close attention to the HR practices of a healthcare organization to ensure it meets the highest standards. That is why healthcare organizations need to make sure regulatory and CQC compliance is maintained throughout their operations. However, keeping track of the compliance and regulatory process is a strenuous task, especially when you have to focus on the critical operations of your institution.
Let's be honest, compliance management is easier said than done.
