Healthcare organisations of all types are being forced to rethink and reengineer traditional business models to keep pace with demographic and lifestyle trends, fiscal constraints and rapidly advancing technology. The sector is highly regulated and subject to shifts in national and local policy. Health and social care providers are required to demonstrate national minimum standards through compliance with the Care Standards Act 2000.
The value of your business depends significantly on your ability to demonstrate high standards in resident care, quality of the working environment, staffing levels, professional management and processes and procedures.
