The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is an independent regulator of health and adult social care in England, working closely with national clinical audit bodies to assess providers' performance using audit data for quality assurance. The article describes the role of national audit outcomes in the regulatory process and discusses the challenges of using audit data in regulation and potential solutions.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. As part of the intelligence-driven approach to regulation, the CQC works closely with national clinical audit bodies to identify key metrics which reflect quality of care and track the performance of providers against these metrics. Where outliers on national audits are identified that may reflect risks to patients, the CQC encourages the hospital to identify any learning points and implement changes to improve patient care. In this article, we describe the role of national audit outcomes in the regulatory process and how providers can use national audits to inform both quality assurance and quality improvement processes, with two illustrative case studies. We discuss the ongoing challenges with using audit data in the regulatory process and how these could be addressed.
