New CQC reports

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has started to produce inspection reports again and are now posting these on their web-site:  http://caredirectory.cqc.org.uk/caredirectory/searchthecaredirectory.cfm

The format of reports has changed so that instead of awarding quality ratings across different categories they are now recording the outcomes from checks of up to 30 different standards. 

A typical standard is Food and drink should meet people's dietary needs

An outcome can be:

Standard is met
Minor concern
Moderate concern
or
Major concern.

At carehomemap we are trying to work out how to incorporate this new way of assessing homes into our framework.
