Excellence in Care developed a quality of care review guidance. We worked with Scottish Acute Nurse Leaders and health board staff.
Quality of care review guidance
The guidance provides a “Once for Scotland” approach to quality of care reviews and care assurance visits. This helps to support care assurance processes at a local level.
Care assurance processes are a priority as they improve experiences and outcomes for:
- patients
- families
- the workforce

How the quality of care review guidance supports local teams
The guidance helps to support by providing:
- tools and resources to help you understand the standards and quality of care you need to deliver
- tools to support consideration of situations that impact on care delivery and where support is needed
- tools to support the identification of excellence and plan for how this can be shared
- effective and efficient use of the workforce and resources
- some quality and safety indicators for each element of the Excellence in Care framework
- a use in conjunction with local processes in different care contexts
- an advocated multi-professional approach
- value on professional judgement to make sure the scope of any review is the same
- the right people for the situation being reviewed and the questions asked
