Aligning #CQC Regulations with #ClinicalSafety standards. An opportunity for cohesion? Quality Management Systems are commonplace in healthcare and all have similar fundamental elements. In the NHS, this applies to standards and regulations such as DCB0129, DCB0160 and those enforced by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) with commonalities presenting opportunities to transfer best practice across what could be perceived as siloed regulated areas. In our latest Expert Insights Blog, written by CQC Lead and Clinical Safety Officer Nick Pavard we unpack how organisations can align #RegulatedActivities that form part of the CQC assessment with Clinical Safety standards like #DCB0160.

Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ)|| Founder-HealthFocus Quality Network|| I help organizations enhance patient care by strengthening their QMS|| Patient care&safety AMBASSADOR
The power lies within. There is nothing else that can help an organization expand and stand on its own two feet except by looking at their performance review, which is easily traced by having an effective QMS. Effective QMS is not magic; it is a state of continuous improvement. Many organizations improve when there is a crisis; you do not need to wait for the worst in order to improve. Here is how to do this: Identify and assess risks: The first step in implementing a QMS is conducting a comprehensive risk assessment. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Develop a standard way of operating. Train and Educate: conduct workshops and training sessions to educate healthcare professionals about the importance of patient safety, risk management, and adherence to SOPs. Performance Monitoring and Continuous Improvement: This is where you set key performance indicators (KPIs) related to patient safety. An organization's goals Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Actions: An effective QMS emphasizes performing root cause analysis (RCA) to identify the underlying causes of errors or adverse events. Collaborate and Communicate: Recommend establishing clear communication channels for reporting issues, sharing best practices, and keeping staff informed. QMS that’s easy to implement and maintain, To understand this, I will be conducting a LinkedIn audio event to elaborate on QMS and patient safety. Join us. #patientsafety #consciousimprovement #qms #SOPs

Delivering excellent healthcare service requires a two-pronged approach: quality management (QM) and quality assurance (QA). QM involves proactive measures to ensure consistent, high-quality care through standardized policies, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement. QA focuses on verifying adherence to these standards through internal and external audits, and incorporating patient feedback. By working together, QM and QA create a cycle of excellence in health systems, prioritizing patient safety, satisfaction, and compliance with regulations. This approach leads to a thriving health system that delivers exceptional healthcare and builds trust with patients. #OperationalExcellenceInHealthSystems #BuildingRobust&ResilientHealthSystems
