Is CHI similar to Ofsted, the education inspectorate?

No. While both aim to raise standards at the organisations they inspect, CHI resents its reputation as “the Ofsted of the NHS”, feeling that this gives it a reputation as an intimidating “hit squad” out to punish recalcitrant NHS organisations. It wants to be known as an assessor rather than an inspector and sees its role as developmental and collaborative. It says its methods are “very different” from those of Ofsted. Does the NHS believe CHI is a bit like Ofsted? Yes, so far. A recent survey by the Health Quality Service and trade magazine Health Service Journal discovered that most NHS chief executives and senior quality managers were “fearful” of inspection. They worry that it will adopt an Ofsted-style “name and shame” approach, that staff will be made public scapegoats, and that CHI investigators will “relish wielding a big stick”. Like school teachers with Ofsted, NHS managers believe CHI inspections will be costly, stressful and distracting. Does it have the power to close fail
