Regulatory and Support Agencies

The need for Quality and Safety Management Systems doesn't rest solely with the providers of direct care, but at all levels including the providers of regulatory services and professional support such as colleges and professional bodies. As such you may be driving your organisation to excel in line with such standards as the International Society for Quality in Healthcare's (ISQua) International Accreditation Programme, ISO accreditation or academic requirements. Health Care Informed (HCI) provides organisations with a Quality Management Information System (QMIS) to ease the management burden of such development and compliance.

HCI has specific experience in this regards including the provision of support to the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua) as the Technical Advisors to the International Accreditation Programme. In addition, in 2011, HCI was commissioned to undertake an external review of ISQua's International Accreditation Programme and in 2013 we are working with ISQua to develop their Quality Management System. See ISQua Bulletin for more details. HCI has also worked with the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) and the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency.

HCI works with healthcare Regulatory and Support Agencies to maximise their quality and risk management processes by providing an electronic system for ease of compliance and monitoring. HCI provides practical solutions to improve quality, achieve compliance, and manage risk in your organisation.
