Compliance Dashboard
Displays local policy linkage to NICE/RCOG recs.
Outcome: Demonstrates Effective & Well-led governance.
CQC-Outstanding Toolkit
CQC-Outstanding Toolkit
Helping healthcare providers move from Good → Outstanding under the CQC framework by embedding auditable, evidence-based guideline systems powered by the CliniSearch backend.
Alignment with CQC Domains
| CQC Domain | What Inspectors Look For | How the Backend Helps | Example Metrics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safe | Staff use current evidence-based guidance; risk reduction. | Unified NICE + RCOG dataset, population filters, schema constraints. | % pathways linked to guidelines; zero population errors. |
| Effective | Evidence-based, outcome-driven care. | Structured recs with grades, semantic retrieval, grade analytics. | % adherence to Grade A–C evidence; update lag ≤30 days. |
| Caring | Patient-centred information sharing. | Plain-language summaries; patient information integration. | % patient leaflets aligned with NICE guidance. |
| Responsive | Rapid adaptation to new evidence. | Auto-ingestion + alerts for updates. | Avg. time to update pathways. |
| Well-led | Evidence-based governance & learning culture. | Dashboard linking SOPs → guideline DOIs; exportable audit data. | CQC-ready export pack; policy-to-guideline mapping. |
Core Toolkit Components
Semantic Search API
Query 20k+ recommendations by meaning.
Outcome: Improves Safe & Responsive care.
Evidence-Grade Analytics
Visualises adoption of strong evidence.
Outcome: Supports Effective audits.
Population Mapping Engine
Ensures correct demographic application.
Outcome: Reduces risk → Safe.
Versioning & Change Tracking
Detects updates and alerts governance teams.
Outcome: Enables Responsive improvement.
Governance Export Tools
Generate inspection-ready audit data.
Outcome: Simplifies Well-led documentation.
Example CQC Narrative
“Our clinical governance systems are powered by a unified NICE + RCOG backend. Each policy links to its source guideline, evidence grade, and population tag. Updates from NICE or RCOG trigger automatic alerts within 24 hours. This ensures all pathways remain current, traceable, and evidence-based — key to achieving Outstanding in the Effective and Well-led domains.”
Recommended Metrics for an ‘Outstanding’ Rating
| Metric | Target | Source |
|---|---|---|
| % of pathways linked to current guidance | ≥95% | Metadata / API export |
| Avg. time from publication → adoption | ≤30 days | Change logs |
| % of Grade A–C evidence implemented | ≥80% | Evidence-grade analytics |
| Monthly staff usage of guideline tools | Upward trend | Search logs |
| Population-safety violations | 0 | Schema constraints |
