What is Quality of Life Assessment?

A Quality of Life Assessment is a structured evaluation of how a person experiences daily life — physical, psychological, social and environmental dimensions. Tools include EQ-5D (widely used by NICE), WHOQOL-BREF and ASCOT (social care). Outputs feed into care planning, outcomes reporting and economic evaluation. CQC inspectors consider QoL evidence under the "caring" and "responsive" key questions.
