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 or their organisation accredited with the ISQua External Evaluation Association (ISQua EEA) in the previous year. This year’s ceremony will take place on Tuesday the 29th of August at 10:00 am in the auditorium of the COEX Convention Centre in Seoul. Twenty-eight organisations from 23 countries/regions will have awards acknowledged at this year’s ceremony.
This includes two organisations from this year’s conference host country – the Republic of Korea namely the Korea Institute for Healthcare Accreditation and the Laboratory Medicine Foundation. It was a year of firsts for many organisations, with new client organisations from Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia achieving ISQua EEA accreditation of their standards for the first time, while a client organisation in Romania achieved organisational accreditation for the first time and another in Korea had their surveyor training programme accredited for the first time. Existing clients based in Canada, India and Egypt also had additional sets of standards accredited with ISQua EEA 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 continue to continuously evaluate and update their own standards or surveyor training programmes or their own processes and procedures as external evaluation organisations.
The first client to undergo an assessment under the new Standards Recognition Programme will also be acknowledged at this year’s award ceremony. The Flanders Quality Model (FlaQuM) of Leuven Institute for Healthcare Policy from Belgium achieved Standards Development Recognition in 2023. We would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to all organisations for their achievement of ISQua EEA accreditation or recognition and the ongoing commitment that this embodies to continuous quality improvement.
