CQC outlines quality approach for health and social care

The Care Quality Commission has published a report detailing how it plans to assess the provision and commissioning of health and adult social care in its first year. Building on the work of previous regulators, the commission is introducing an approach that assesses quality across health and social care as it moves towards a single registration system for providers of care in both sectors in 2010. The approach features both periodic and special reviews and draws attention to how the sectors of health, mental health and adult social care work together. There will also be indicators that measure the outcomes for people and their experience of care.
