Care Home Quality Changes

One of CQC's four strategic priorities is to become more intelligence driven; a key component of this is to use intelligence to prioritise which adult social care services should be inspected. As part of this goal, CQC together with partner organisations have estimated machine learning models to predict ratings of residential and nursing care homes using a variety of quantitative data. Data for approximately 16,000 care homes were available for this work, including:

The following classifiers were tested: logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, support vector classification, random forest, oblique random forest. We were able to achieve a 60% true positive rate with a 5% false positive rate.

Additional information: The requirement is set out in the Statement of Requirements of the tender document available at CQC e-Sourcing Portal: https://cqc-commercial.bravosolution.co.uk
