AnnotationQuality is an essential criterion by which care homes for older people are judged. However, the measurement of quality is both challenging and potentially costly. This paper examines the potential of using routinely generated data from inspection processes as quality indicators. It indicates that generation of such information is possible, providing material that may be used in research and for more general guidance. This paper was presented as part of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded Research Seminar Series organised between Surrey, Sheffield, City and Northumbria Universities during the 2005/06 academic year.
