Patient led assessment of the care environment (PLACE)
Patient-led assessments of the care environment (PLACE) provide a snapshot of how an organisation is performing against a range of non-clinical activities which impact on a persons experience of care. The assessments aim to improve standards and apply to all hospitals delivering NHS funded care.
PLACE assessments explore six areas:
- Cleanliness
- Food
- Privacy and dignity
- Condition, appearance and maintenance
- Dementia
- Disability
Assessments are undertaken annually.
