The ISQua EEA Awards Ceremony held at the annual ISQua conference acknowledges those client organisations who have had a set of standards, a surveyor training programme, a quality and patient safety training programme or their organisation accredited with the ISQua External Evaluation Association (ISQua EEA) in the previous year. This year, 29 organisations from 18 countries/regions had awards acknowledged at the ceremony.
It was a year of firsts for many organisations, with new client organisations from France, India, and USA achieving ISQua EEA accreditation of their standards for the first time. Three new client organisations in Indonesia achieved organisational accreditation for the first time. As well as this, two existing clients in Bahrain and Lebanon had their surveyor training programmes accredited for the first time.
Most awards being acknowledged are re-accreditation awards which demonstrates the commitment of our client organisations to quality improvement as they continuously evaluate and update their own standards or surveyor training programmes or their own processes and procedures as external evaluation organisations.
We would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to all organisations for their achievement of ISQua EEA accreditation and their ongoing commitment to continuous quality improvement.
