CQC readiness Practices need to be prepared for Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessments and be ready to address the outcomes. Information to inform the assessments will be gathered from a variety of sources, including patients’ experience of services. Quality statements will consider evidence for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services to ensure providers are delivering high-quality, person-centred care. PCC has helped practices by mock assessments, mentoring staff and providing expert advice, as well as supporting improvement where necessary.

Virtual Wards – South East Region Evaluation Report A virtual ward evaluation report by PPL provides some interesting observations on the use of virtual wards in the South East of England. (Virtual wards are an ICS-endorsed initiative that allows patients to receive care at ‘home’, rather than hospital – part of the ‘get them out of and away from hospitals’ policy adopted across the NHS.) The study, conducted over two years, analysed over 22,000 admissions across 29 South East virtual wards (49% of the South East’s overall VW capacity). It focuses on the impact and cost-effectiveness of admission-avoidance pathways, and highlights benefits such as the positive impact on avoided non-elective admissions and a strong return on investment, whilst also identifying areas for improvement (e.g., the reduction of health inequalities). At PM Healthcare we recognise the importance of the virtual ward model – all ICBs have invested in the initiative, to agreed standards and definitions. The PPL study provides a timely and useful evaluation of this ‘Mae West’ policy, believed to deliver not just an alternative to hospital admission, but also providing a raft of other benefits to patients. We believe it will provide a useful benchmark for other ICSs looking to evaluate and expand on this important cross-sector area of care. #virtualwards #nhs #ics #icb #ppl #nhsengland Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/e_p8SN6n
