Monitor compliance rates around staff supervision, appraisal and training by utilising the digital matrix. With timely reminders being issued to managers about due dates for training and staff development activities, they can stay one step ahead and ensure target compliance rates are maintained.
Step 4 – Quality Dashboards:
Get a snapshot of how well the service is performing, enabling users to easily spot any trends/themes, drill down to understand what belies the data, and take swift action to resolve any issues.
Step 5 – Governance Reporting:
Generate regular governance reports to inform the agenda for the service’s quality/clinical risk forum. See concisely where performance falls short of required standards, learn lessons and take appropriate action.
Step 6 – Quality & Risk Management:
Strengthen the management of clinical risk and enhance quality of service delivery at your quality/risk meetings. Engage staff in the scrutiny of audit data, whilst promoting accountability and a blame-free culture. All underpinned by the Duty of Candour.
