The Care Quality Commission introduced Quality and Risk Profiles (QRPs) as an important tool for providers, commissioners and their own staff to monitor compliance with essential standards of quality and safety. NHS providers should ensure that their QRPs are updated and uploaded monthly, so that the CQC and the commissioners of health and social care services can monitor routinely how NHS providers are performing.
The latest round of updated quality and risk profiles (QRPs) were made available to NHS trusts, lead commissioners, SHAs and Monitor via the password protected website last week. The CQC will be improving the accessibility, look and feel of QRPs for these providers over the coming months. The CQC has also announced that there will not be an update release for QRPs in May.
In addition the Care Quality Commission have stated that they are working to further develop QRPs for adult social care and independent health care providers. Their aim is to share QRPs with these providers in the same way as the NHS once this development work is complete.
