Practice Diagnostics

IMPROVING CLINICAL OUTCOMES

THE CHEC PRACTICE DIAGNOSTICS SERVICE

CHEC offers formative and summative reviews of general practices. In over 100 such reviews it has assessed relative performance and designed practice development plans. It offers assurance to primary care organisations and practices on the practices’ strengths, including compliance with current and future accreditations, and an understanding of where risks lie.

Each review involves:

  • Preparation (scoping, defining the criteria and information gathering)
  • A practice visit lasting either half or a full day conducted by a trained and experienced team
  • A review report (which can include a Practice Development Plan if required)
  • For more information please view our brochure click here.

     

    Case Studies

    CHEC’s most recent relevant experience includes supporting two large PCTs in the development and implementation of their own Quality Improvement programmes. CHEC supported the development of the criteria of review, undertook the review of approx 90 General Practices and supported the practices to develop a 3-year practice based development plan in order to achieve the quality standards and approach desired by the PCT.
