Ardens has worked with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to develop a suite of reports to be used when carrying out inspections of GP practices. The reports can also be used by practices to identify patients who are potentially at risk from not having care delivered in line with national guidance.
By using Ardens Clinical and Ardens Manager to monitor CQC inspection reports, primary care organisations can enhance compliance and quality of care, and ultimately aim to achieve an outstanding CQC rating.

"Our Surgery had a CQC inspection in September, where you certainly helped me out during my hour long intensive grilling to demonstrate high quality evidence based care, safeguarding, instant access to your searches. We were awarded Outstanding and the report is littered with references to our ‘clinical template system’, which is of course yours."
