Key dates announced for the roll-out of our new provider portal and regulatory approach Today weâre updating you on how and when weâre introducing our new provider portal and regulatory approach. Whatâs changing and when in 2023? Provider portal In August, weâll invite the first group of health and social care providers to log onto a new provider portal. They'll be able to explore its functionality as part of a new and updated range of digital services that make it easier to interact with us. Weâll roll out the new portal to all providers in phases from September. Each provider will be invited onto the portal with their login details and guidance on how to use it. Getting our digital services right is important to us. We want to streamline how we collect data to support our new approach to regulation, as this will help us assess in a smarter, more consistent way. The new portal plays a large part in helping to make that a reality and will make it easier for providers to share information with us. New regulatory approach In November, we will start to use our new assessment framework. This will be rolled out regionally, starting with providers in the South of England. Any assessments from November onwards for providers in the South will be carried out using the new assessment framework. Weâll still schedule assessments by considering the level of risk, so not all providers will need to have an immediate assessment. In other regions, we will continue to use our current assessment framework for now. The new assessment framework will be rolled out to other regions by the end of March 2024, and we will provide further updates as each region moves over to using the new framework.
What can you do to get ready? Ensure that contact details for your organisation are up to date so that we invite the right people to join the new portal and can keep them informed about the roll-out of the new approach. Read guidance to help prepare your organisation for the changes in the way we regulate. Introducing the new assessment framework in phases will take time. This as well as introducing you to the new provider portal and wider digital services, will continue into 2024. Make sure youâre signed up to receive our bulletinsâ¯to get the latest informationâ¯about our plans.
