Comply With NICE Or Pay
...Care Quality Commission tells trusts
Baroness YoungHealthcare providers could be shut down for failing to comply with National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidance under plans to make adherence a requirement of the Care Quality Commission's registration scheme.
CQC chair Baroness Young has revealed that organisations from hospitals to GP surgeries will be expected to prove they are complying with national guidelines on clinical effectiveness as part of the new regulator's registration process.
Speaking at NICE's tenth anniversary conference in Manchester last week, Baroness Young said clinical guidance would be "built into" the registration system.
She said: "There's an opportunity for the registration system and the assessments that follow it to raise the profile of NICE guidance, to highlight [its] importance and to track some of that through the assessment process."
