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.
I had immense pleasure to work with Quality Accreditation Institute for our Lab Accreditation as per ISO 15189:2012. Our Labs Narayana Nethralaya Institute of Molecular Diagnostics & Laboratory services at Rajaji Nagar and Narayana Nethralaya Institute of Molecular Diagnostics & Laboratory Services at Narayana Health city, Bommasandra got Accreditated by Quality & Accreditation Institute (QAI) as per ISO 15189:2012. They guided in the preparation of Quality Manual, sops and maintaining the documents as per the standards. They have assessed our labs in timely manner and raised the Nonconformities where ever the deficiencies are observed. We have closed the Nonconformities and sent to the QAI. After fulfilling the requirements, they have granted accreditation to our Labs. They work with time scheduled process and the process is very fast. I would like to thank Quality Accreditation Institute for quick process and guidance.
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!!!
It’s a great pleasure to be a part of QAI through Accreditation of Dialysis Centre. During the Journey of Accreditation with QAI, we had a good experience with QAI Team. QAI was supporting and guiding our Institution throughout the Process of Changing & Developing the Quality of Practices at our Centre. Instructions were clear and Understandable. Our Application was accepted, assessment was scheduled within a short time. The inspection was held at targeted dates without delay. We wish good Luck to QAI to expand and grow into heights.
It gives me immense pleasure to share that QAI is one of very few organisation which hold quality on its top agenda. Under able leadership of Dr B.K Rana, QAI is one of the best organisation which provides great environment for training and accreditation. We Max@Home recently gone under accreditation process for home healthcare. It was pleasure to see how QAI has conducted the audit professionally and was very supportive to create environment for learning. QAI is finding new ways and areas for training and accreditation. I wish all the best to Dr B.K Rana and QAI to reach new heights.
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.
