Quality and Accreditation Institute was set up to create an ecosystem of education, training, quality improvement and accreditation. We believe that this organisation would provide a platform to stakeholders including professionals and organisations, associated with quality in any way, to share their wisdom and knowledge in order to make its Vision realised.
There may be different tools/ methods/ mechanisms to achieve Quality. Accreditation is one such tool. In Healthcare, accreditation is now available almost for all types of organisations ranging from a medical laboratory to a super speciality hospital.
QAI’s CIA has been established with the objective of providing Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme of accreditation for Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) including medical labs as per ISO 15189, testing labs as per ISO/IEC 17025, calibration labs as per ISO/IEC 17025, Biobanks as per ISO 20387, Proficiency Testing Providers as per 17043, Inspection Bodies as per ISO 17020 and Reference Material Producers as per ISO 17034
QAI’s CAHSC set up to operate accreditation/ certification programs in health and social care sector. Primarily, it is targeted to launch those programs which do not exist and there is a need felt by stakeholders to start such programs.
"The prompt response, practical and pragmatic expectation for quality care makes QAI the most feasible and reliable way forward for quality accreditation for small and medium sized hospitals".
Having QAI Accreditation for Portea Medical was an amazing experience for all of us. This has helped us take our Quality standards to next level where all the employees understand the importance and value Quality parameters set within the organisation matching QAI guidelines. Thanks to the QAI team!!
We are deeply honored to receive this recognition, which stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate, and patient-centered care. This accreditation is not just a milestone for our organization but also a validation of the collective efforts and dedication of our teams across Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in this process, especially the assessors, for their guidance and meticulous assessment. The certificate and scope of accreditation further inspire us to uphold and exceed these standards in our journey to redefine senior care in India.
Quality and Accreditation Institute of India has come as a fresh breeze to the Indian Healthcare scenario. With Innovations as its hallmark it has ushered in a new era of benchmarking quality beyond the stereotypical hospitals. Home healthcare standards are paving the way for quality care outside the home. Further endorsements from ISQua adds credibility and will give QAI a position which it deserves on international platform. Kudos Dr Rana for being the crusader he is!!!
QAI has a perspective approach to best practices in laboratory standards with its International Network. The accreditation by QAI, has created a sense of shouldering, furthermore increased our responsibility towards clinicians and general public at large. The positive attitude of the assessor is overwhelming to accept the changes.
