Care Quality Evaluation (CQE)

Problem
The development of Integrated Care Systems (ICS) is significant not only for England and the UK but also on a global scale, as highlighted by the WHO’s global strategy on people-centred and integrated health services. The core principles of this strategy aim to strengthen and build upon the WHO’s ongoing commitment to universal health coverage and primary healthcare.
Currently, there is no comprehensive system that evaluates both the data generated from patient-centred interventions and the context in which these interventions occur. This lack of integration prevents stakeholders – responsible for commissioning, managing, and delivering health and social care services – from accessing the insights needed to enhance care quality and improve societal productivity on a population level.
Solution
Care Quality Evalution (CQE) is a modular digital platform technology designed to improve outcomes for people with data-based decision making. The idea is to support an Integrated Care Ecosystem using pre-built compliant capability and re-usable tools, to deliver a service that can develop new insight at population level through the collection, monitoring and evaluation of data created from patient level interventions, and the context in which those interventions were delivered. The underpinning business intelligence capability is intended to be easy to use and likely delivered through a Software as a Service model, to reduce the time and cost of developing new services and provide health and care professionals, and patients, with a consistent user experience, irrespective of circumstance.
Connecting individual patient outcomes to the economic productivity and social impact of care management on the population will realise a multiplication effect at population level, from delivering small incremental differences for individual patients.
