Can the Care Quality Commission live up to expectations?
Can the Care Quality Commission live up to expectations?
This week marks one year since Robert Francis published his second report into failures of care at Mid-Staffordshire Foundation Trust.
Mid-Staffs Director of Quality and Patient Experience Julie Hendry gave a moving presentation at a conference at the Fund in November summarising the journey that the trust have been on since 2009 and the progress they have made and continue to make.But what developments have there been more broadly across the system?
One year is barely long enough to achieve culture change. But locally, both in response to the first Francis report and more recently, there are countless examples of improvements in how boards monitor and manage quality, how care for frail older people is organised in hospitals, and how leaders listen to and involve patients. There are also organisations continuing to struggle to focus on quality – the picture is inevitably mixed. Nationally, the final full government response to Francisbalanced commitments to strengthen how quality is monitored with initiatives to help teams and organisations improve safety and support staff wellbeing.
