What is healthcare compliance?

Across almost all industries - and particularly in the health and social care sectors - the term ‘compliance’ is used liberally. Spend more than five minutes with a health or social care manager, HR professional, recruiter or administrator, and the chances are you’ll hear the word compliance more than once. But what exactly does it mean?

To health and social care professionals, the term compliance has become synonymous with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC inspects and regulates all health and social care services in England, carrying out regular and comprehensive inspections to ensure that the fundamental standards of quality and safety are being met.

Are healthcare compliance programs mandatory?

Yes! Like death and taxes, there is no escape from compliance. Compliance with the CQC’s Fundamental Standards is mandatory for all health and adult social care providers in England.
