ComplyPlus™ Presents: Navigating Health and Social Care Compliance

One System Rule Them All? The All-in-One vs. Best-of-Breed Debate


Listen Later

In this episode of ComplyPlus™ Presents, Dr Richard Dune and Lewis Normoyle tackle one of the most common questions from care providers:

“Can we have everything in one system?”

From “single source of truth” dreams to multi-tab realities, they unpack why leaders chase all-in-one compliance platforms and why those projects often fail.

Together, they explore the All-in-One vs Best-of-Breed debate through the lens of the CQC’s new Single Assessment Framework, DTAC, DSPT, and clinical-safety standards (DCB0129/0160).

Lewis shares real-world examples of where all-in-one systems backfired, the hidden costs of shelf-ware and vendor lock-in, and how modular, interoperable tools can actually deliver stronger evidence for inspection.

Listeners will learn:

  • Why “simplicity” can become a compliance risk
  • The five failure patterns of all-in-one systems
  • How to design a hybrid digital ecosystem that meets CQC, DTAC, and DSPT requirements
  • A practical roadmap for leaders choosing or rationalising their tech stack
  • Whether you’re a registered manager, digital-transformation lead, or governance director, this episode will help you separate marketing myth from operational reality and build a digital compliance ecosystem that really works.
