SMART Care Intel: From poor to perfect in one sitting

Traditional mock inspections can be time consuming to set up, inconsistent to score and hard to translate into action plans.

SMART Care Intel automates the heavy lifting: it builds a realistic mock inspection from your last report (or a template), scores each answer 0 – 10 against a closed evidence set, and generates procedures and evidence prompts to lift weaker areas quickly.

SMART Care Intel: Step-by-step

1. Create: Build a mock inspection for a service—auto preloaded from your last CQC report.
2. Answer: Respond honestly to each question. Upload any existing evidence.
3. Score: The system scores 0–10, showing exactly what’s missing.
4. Fix: Click Solve my problem to generate a tailored, step by step procedure and evidence list.
5. Re score: Paste your updated approach into the answer, attach evidence, and watch the score rise.

A worked example (comms & engagement)

Scenario: staff engagement is ad hoc; meetings are irregular; feedback isn’t captured.

Initial score: 2/10. The system proposes a monthly engagement cycle with a simple agenda, a rolling action log, and two evidence points (attendance sheet and actions closed).

Result: With this in place, and after attaching the first month’s files, the answer typically re-scores to 8-9/10.

Why the 0 – 10 scale matters

• It’s honest: a ‘green’ traffic light can hide problems. A 4/10 shows work to do.
• It’s motivating: teams can see progress from 4→7→9 as evidence accumulates.
• It’s portable: you can export scores and evidence to board papers or commissioner updates.
