This resource explains how NICE quality standards can be used, and sets the improvement opportunities offered by the quality standards in the context of the Care Quality Commission's new framework for inspection. The resource outlines how quality standards fit with other improvement initiatives, and suggests ways they can be used to improve practice, including preparing for inspection. It also identifies which quality standard statements are likely to be most relevant for each of CQC's five key questions around safety, effectiveness, caring practice, responsiveness and good leadership.
