What is a Quality Improvement Plan?

A QIP is a document each service must have that identifies its strengths and areas for improvement against the National Quality Standard, and sets out how it plans to improve. It is a key reference during assessment and rating.

Does a good QIP improve my rating?

A QIP itself doesn’t set your rating, but a genuine, well-implemented QIP drives the real improvements that a strong rating reflects, which is exactly the point.
