Today, Care England is pleased to announce the launch
of SMART Care Intel, a sophisticated new
intelligence platform set to transform how care providers,
consultants, commissioners, and regulators deliver, evidence, and
sustain high-quality adult social care in England.
This is not just another analytics tool. SMART Care Intel is a
strategic resource that turns insight into action, supporting
continuous improvement through features such as:
- A “roadmap to outstanding care” that
presents live examples of excellence as recorded in CQC
inspections, mapped to each quality statement.
-
Quality improvement planning tools to
generate procedures, self-assessments, and policy evaluations.
-
Mock inspection capabilities that enable
services to prepare confidently for CQC visits.
- A quiz bank of over 6,000 sector-specific
questions to enhance care staff knowledge and
competence.
Developed in response to the increasing complexity of the social
care landscape and to improve quality across England, SMART Care
Intel offers consolidated, data-driven solutions. Drawing on tens
of millions of data points from trusted sources including the
Care Quality Commission (CQC), HMRC, Companies House, the Office
for National Statistics (ONS), and the Land Registry, the
platform brings together intelligence and delivers actionable
insights into quality, compliance, and commercial performance.
SMART Care Intel also offers users with the ability to:
- Benchmark performance across providers and regions.
- Analyse over 100,000 CQC inspection reports with advanced
search and filtering.
- Monitor service quality against the new Single Assessment
Framework, NICE guidelines, NHS best practice, and the Care Act.
- Recruit the best managers in the sector.
- Identify local trends, gaps, and risk areas to inform
operational and strategic planning.
Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care
England, commented:
“SMART Care Intel represents a major step forward in how the
care sector can harness data to drive improvement. By bringing
together tens of millions of data points and making them
accessible and actionable, this tool helps providers not only
meet regulatory expectations but go beyond them. Whether they're
preparing for a CQC inspection, looking to improve staff
knowledge, or benchmarking performance against other providers
locally and nationally, SMART Care Intel offers a unique and
invaluable resource. At a time of growing pressure and complexity
in adult social care, this platform gives our sector the clarity,
confidence and capability it needs to thrive.”
Developed in partnership with sector experts and grounded in
regulatory frameworks, SMART Care Intel helps care services
demonstrate quality with transparency and precision - offering
both a shared language for improvement and a blueprint for
excellence.
SMART Care Intel is now available to care providers, consultants,
local authorities, and Integrated Care Systems across England.
Care England is so confident in the value of SMART Care Intel
that it's offering all new users a free one-week trial to
experience its benefits firsthand.
