A month of audits with zero findings looks tidy. It proves very little about how a home care agency is run.
What proves it is a finding that gets fixed. Say April's falls audit flags two clients who fell without a falls-risk assessment. The manager agrees the actions and signs the audit off. May's audit shows both assessments in place. That pair of audits is the evidence.
CareOS keeps the whole trail. Each CQC audit runs from the records your team already keeps and grades every finding by severity, with the action it calls for. A manager signs the run off in CareOS with the actions agreed, their name and job title, and a date that can't be changed. The original audit is never altered, and every run can be downloaded again years later.
It's one part of CareOS, care management software for UK domiciliary care agencies. Our guide to CQC compliance software covers the records worth having ready and how to judge a system:
