QIP Accreditation
What is accreditation?
Accreditation is independent recognition that an organisation, program or activity meets the requirements of defined criteria or standards. Accreditation provides assurance for owners, managers, staff, funding bodies and consumers about quality and performance.
What is quality?
Quality is the degree of excellence of a product, service, or process.
QIP plays a key role in ensuring that quality service provision in the health and human services industry is maintained by measuring the degree to which service providers meet the requirements of the Standards relevant to their profession. Standards encourage service providers to monitor and continually improve the services their business delivers, including education, management, the rights and needs of patients and/or clients, and the physical facilities of their business.
