CQC-Prep™ guides individuals and teams through an empowering process of self-assessment and strategic planning using the latest CQC single assessment framework.

Step 1: Assess current performance based on CQC criteria.

Begin your journey with CQC-Prep™ by assessing your current performance. Using the virtual abacus, slide beads to represent your judgement in various areas based on the CQC criteria. This initial assessment forms the foundation of your self-evaluation, ensuring that your understanding aligns with key CQC standards. It's a straightforward yet insightful way to visually map where you stand in terms of compliance and quality.

Step 2: Add notes and evidence to support your judgement.

Once your initial judgement is made, it’s time to substantiate it with notes and evidence. This step allows you to attach relevant documents, reports, and data that back up your assessments. Whether it's statistical data, qualitative reports, or case studies, this evidence helps validate your self-assessment, turning subjective judgements into objective, data-driven insights.

Step 3: Analyse factors that help or hinder performance.

Delve deeper into understanding your service by analysing factors that influence performance. Identify elements that facilitate success (helping factors) and those that pose challenges (hindering factors). This analysis is crucial for a comprehensive view of your operational environment, helping you to pinpoint areas that require attention and those that can be leveraged for better outcomes.

Step 4: Plan actions to improve based on the analysis.

Armed with insights from your analysis, you’ll now plan strategic actions. This step involves formulating targeted initiatives to strengthen helping factors and mitigate hindering ones. Whether it’s enhancing staff training, revising policies, or introducing new operational procedures, your action plan will be a roadmap towards tangible improvements in care quality.

Step 5: Share reports and improvement plans with others.

Collaboration and transparency are key to continuous improvement. CQC-Prep™ enables you to create detailed reports of your evaluations and improvement plans, which can be shared with team members, stakeholders, or regulatory bodies. These comprehensive reports facilitate open communication and collective responsibility in elevating care standards.

Step 6: Show continuous improvement in care quality.

The final step with CQC-Prep™ is showcasing your journey of continuous improvement. Regularly update your evaluations and plans to reflect progress and adaptations. This ongoing process not only demonstrates your commitment to upholding high care standards but also ensures your service evolves in line with the dynamic nature of healthcare quality and continuous improvement.
