Webinar - The CQC single assessment framework – everything you need to know

3​1 October 2023

What is changing, what is remaining, and what you need to know about the CQC single assessment framework

Later this year, and into 2024, the CQC will be introducing the new single assessment framework in phrases which will replace the existing key lines of enquiry (KLOEs). The new framework will be rolled out in the South network in November 2023 (next month) and then to the rest of England by March 2024.

The main reasons behind the change are to make the process of evaluation simpler, so that the CQC can focus on the areas that are of the highest importance, as well as the need the better reflect how care is being delivered when taking the different types of services as well as a local area into account, and the recognition of the need for one framework that connects the CQC’s registration activity to their assessments of quality.

How managing medications can be the key to preventing falls- Keeping track of medications with ATLAS eMAR

Falls are common in older adults and can negatively impact their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Care home staff need to take preventive measures to reduce falls, and one way to do that is through managing medications.

Care home residents are often prescribed several medications to manage their medical conditions. While these medications can help with the intended purpose, they may also come with unintended side effects, for example, fatigue and drowsiness. Furthermore, combining multiple medications can increase the risk of drug interactions, causing unwanted side effects and increasing the risk of falls in older adults. Therefore, it's crucial for care staff to carefully monitor and manage medication intake to avoid any potential complications.

Learning to manage resident's medications well and understanding how they affect the resident is an essential part of fall prevention and avoiding the issues that present themselves after a fall, such as injuries, pain, loss of confidence, emotional trauma, etc. read more here https://atlasemar.co.uk/resources/how-managing-medications-can-be-the-key-to-preventing-falls?utm_source=tsa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=falls-prevention&utm_term=falls-prevention-emar
