Your organisation will need to be NMDS-SC compliant! but there is help
The Department of Health and the NHS Information Centre - this informs decision making around funding, resources and policies that impact upon the sector.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) - NMDS-SC provides information directly to them to reduce the burden on employers. This only applies to employers who give permissions for this data transfer.
The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) - provides evidence on how important overseas workers are to the social care sector.
Local authorities - NMDS-SC will help them gain a clearer understanding of the workforce in their local area helping them develop their Integrated Local Area Workforce Strategies and meet the Putting People First milestones
•Enables you to benchmark against other similar organisations
•Aids workforce planning
•Tool to identify training needs
•Reduce CQC paperwork (remember you have to agree to share your information with CQC)
New report available – My Workforce Development NMDS-SC Requirement Report – New from December 2012
“The CQC monitor that care providers continue to meet the essential standards of safety and quality and use a range of information to inform this process which now can include NMDS-SC”“Results of a recent employer consultation strongly supported information being shared directly with CQC from the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC).”
Minimises information required by CQC for compliance monitoringLog in to NMDS-SC and give permissionKeep your NMDS-SC up to date
A first series of data items from NMDS-SC has now been shared with CQC.
CQC will use this data to develop indicators for the Quality and Risk Profile (QRP) for each regulated provider of adult social care services (including where services are provided in health settings).
QRPs are being developed to enable CQC to assess the level of risk of a provider not meeting the essential standards and prompt front line regulatory activity.” – excerpt from Skills for Care website http://www.nmds-sc-online.org.uk/news/View.aspx?1067
