Assessing care home quality using routine regulatory information

Worden, Angela; Challis, David

Abstract

Quality is an essential criterion by which care homes for older people are judged. However the measurement of quality is both challenging and potentially costly. This paper examines the potential of using routinely generated data from inspection processes as quality indicators. It indicates that generation of such information is possible, providing material that may be used in research and also for more general guidance. © Pavilion Journals (Brighton) Ltd 2006.
