Why Choose SMART Care Intel?
Smart Care Intel is the definitive analytics platform powered by Care England, tailored specifically to give a strategic advantage in the care sector. Here’s what sets it apart:
Powerful CQC Analysis
We’ve curated every HSCA spreadsheet and CQC ratings file since February 2017, giving us unparalleled access to historical data across the care sector. This dataset lets us compare any point in time and uncover trends.
Mock Inspections
Prepare with confidence using SMART Care Intel’s mock inspection tools. Simulate real CQC assessments, identify areas for improvement, and ensure your service is ready to evidence quality across every key line of enquiry.
Solve My Problems
Quickly generate tailored procedures, policies, and action plans based on the challenges your service is facing. SMART Care Intel translates data into solutions—supporting better outcomes, not just better insights.
Location Changes
Each month, we compare the latest CQC data to the previous month for every care home, identifying meaningful changes that could signal emerging trends or shifts in quality. We use a points system to measure the significance of each change.
Manager Search
By entering any manager name you can see instantly any care home that the CQC states this person was a registered manager. We show the ratings for the location and when the name appears and any other managers who were listed. We have now added a manager influence section that indicates which managers are most likely the cause or benefit of an inspection.
Search through the CQC Inspection reports for phrases
We have loaded over 100,000 CQC Inspection reports and created the ability to search using key words and phrases. The new CQC inspection method can also be searched for phrases. Identify what works and what doesn’t.
Filter by the New Quality Statements
Each new inspection has the 34 quality statements with ratings. Choose which Quality Statement you are interested in and filter the locations based upon the scores you want to see.
Examine Phrases that Appear in Outstanding CQC Reports
We have extracted the top phrases that appear in each of the Quality Statements from Outstanding reports and arranged them for easy reading. Choose a Quality Statement section and peruse the comments that have been made by the CQC.
Discussion Forum
Get involved. The CQC encourages locations to interact with others to improve care. Our community forum allows you to post questions and comments in any of the 34 quality statements.
