Technology
managed data can inform decision-making, reduce adverse events, and improve quality of life for care recipients.
Conclusion
The CQC’s enforcement of reg 12 underscores the importance of delivering safe, high-quality care. However, providers should not approach compliance as a checkbox exercise. Instead, by leveraging data and technology effectively, they can: n Identify risks and prevent harm proactively.
n Support positive risk-taking to enhance individuals’ independence.
n Ensure continuous learning and improvement within their organisation.
Ultimately, the focus should remain on the people receiving care. By ensuring that their outcomes drive the data collected and the technology implemented, providers can create safer, more efficient, and more compassionate care environments. With a commitment to smart data utilisation and meaningful technological integration, the health and social care sector can achieve compliance by default – while simultaneously improving lives.
