Care Documentation Audit – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Care Documentation Audit?
The Care Documentation Audit is an AI-powered documentation review tool designed for care providers in the UK. It reviews written care documentation against CQC-aligned Outstanding practice characteristics, helping services identify gaps, improve clarity, and strengthen quality evidence.
