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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
"QAI’s initiative to introduce international standards for Home Healthcare in India is appreciable. Accreditation services for Home Healthcare Facilities from QAI can yield positive outcome to Home Healthcare Organizations that are keen on delivering quality service and establish standards in the Home Healthcare Sector. For Guardian Angel Homecare, the accreditation process was an enriching one. It gave us an opportunity to review and fine-tune our existing processes and adopt new ones to address deficiencies and non-conformities. Above all, it helped to orient the entire organization to have a greater focus on quality. Dr. Rana and his team from QAI were there to provide guidance and support throughout the assessment period. Wish QAI and its endeavours all success!! "
