Evidence-Based Monitoring: How to Back Up Your Claims in Tenders

Itโ€™s easy to say you โ€œhave a robust monitoring system.โ€ Itโ€™s harder to prove it. In tenders, that proof is what wins the marks.


๐Ÿ“Œ Make It Tangible

Instead of vague statements like โ€œwe track trends,โ€ say:

  • โ€œWe use a weekly compliance dashboard to identify patterns across medication errors, falls, and incident reports.โ€
  • โ€œAudit findings are discussed fortnightly at a Service Improvement Meeting chaired by the Registered Manager.โ€

๐Ÿ“š Share Examples

If youโ€™ve changed practice based on your monitoring โ€” say so. Examples matter:

  • โ€œWe introduced a hydration chart after noticing low fluid intake during spot checks.โ€
  • โ€œStaff training was refreshed following audit findings on missed signatures.โ€

This proves the loop is working.


๐Ÿงพ Include Tools and Templates

List what tools you use โ€” it makes your system feel real:

  • Audit templates
  • Incident trackers
  • Quality improvement logs

If you mention a QI log, describe what goes in it and who reviews it.
