As part of this goal, CQC together with partner organisations have estimated machine learning models to predict ratings of residential and nursing care homes using a variety of quantitative data. Data for approximately 16,000 care homes were available for this work, including: • Overall ratings data from CQC's inspections; most care homes have received only one inspection rating. Ratings were aggregated into two classes for the purpose of this work. • Monthly time series data on the number of notifications received by CQC on events that care home providers are required to report (e.g. deaths, serious injuries etc.) • Data on bed occupancy, staffing and funding sources of residents. These are collected at irregular time periods, typically but not always within a three-month period prior to inspection. • Static characteristics of care homes (type of care home, bed capacity, service user characteristics, regional location etc.) • Socio-economic characteristics of care homes' local areas • Certifications and results of inspections by third parties (e.g. Foods Standards Agency) The following classifiers were tested: logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, support vector classification, random forest, oblique random forest. We were able to achieve a 60% true positive rate with a 5% false positive rate.
