Inspection methodology

 

Inspection methodology

Inspecting acute care for older people

This inspection methodology has been developed over time and has been informed by the scrutiny experience of Healthcare Improvement Scotland.  There have been a number of iterations of this methodology that have taken into consideration the feedback and learning from all the test inspections along with comments from:

  • the stakeholder reference group
  • Scottish Government
  • the members of the Evidence Improvement and Scrutiny committee, and
  • the Healthcare Improvement Scotland executive team.
