In today’s world scenario, people are striving for quality healthcare across the world. There are various names which have come in healthcare sector now (JCI, NABH, NABL, ISO, Six Sigma, etc.) with the common aim, i.e. to improve quality of healthcare. Since all the accreditation bodies have similar objectives, therefore their standards are also matching with each other. Considering all standards in mind, a checklist has been provided in this book, which can be used as a “tool-kit” to know the status of organization against each point in the checklist. The checklist is made department-wise and is very easy for any organization to understand. More points can be added in these checklists as per new requirements arising from time-to-time. The biggest advantage of the book is that it gives power to you doing internal audit of your organization against any healthcare accreditation body such as NABH, NABL, JCI, etc. Though many consultants are available in the market to provide consultancy/guidance on how to implement quality standards, but they charge a huge amount for providing their services. Not only this, many consultants have lack of experience in implementing quality accreditation standards. This book makes it easy-to-get quality accreditation/certification in health care from any accreditation body. The most useful section of the book is quality parameters for various departments/procedures/activities, quality indicators, flowcharts for various processes, checklists for assessment of quality in healthcare organizations (HCOs).
