Why most care records fail when it matters
CQC does not ask what happened.
It asks whether you can show it.
Records break down fast — whether they live on paper, in spreadsheets, or in a system no one has time to use properly. Notes get missed. Follow-up slips. When inspection starts, evidence takes days to pull together.

Regulatory grounding
Built around the rules managers are judged on
Care-meter helps managers keep better records, track follow-up, and prepare clearer evidence for inspection.
Regulation 17
Better records, clearer oversight, and a record managers can review, act on, and stand behind.
Regulation 18
Helps flag notifiable incidents and prepare the follow-up behind them.
Regulation 20
Tracks Duty of Candour steps — apologies, written follow-up, and investigation updates — with overdue alerts.
Single Assessment Framework
Shows where evidence is strong and where it is still missing.
Pricing
