CQC Digital Care Readiness Checklist
Your Practical Guide to Demonstrating Digital Capability
Digital capability is now a core part of CQC regulation, with inspectors assessing how effectively your service uses technology across all five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. This Digital Care Readiness Checklist helps you understand what "good" looks like, prepare clear evidence and identify areas for improvement before your next inspection.
Designed for care providers at every stage of digital maturity, the checklist covers the essentials of digital care planning, remote monitoring, data security, governance, training and technology-enabled care. It supports teams to demonstrate robust digital processes, improve quality and show how technology strengthens outcomes for people receiving care. Use it to audit your current approach, close gaps and build confidence when presenting digital capability to CQC.
