STANDARDS
ACCREDITATION STANDARDS
Standards Wise can be used to meet many of the most common accreditation standards currently used. While each standard differs from another, the general quality principles remain common.
Standards Wise has in-built functionality that allows organisations to align multiple frameworks to a single policy or process. You can search for evidence by a single indicator, section or standard or even to show how many indicators are being meet by a policy or workflow instruction. Here are a few of the standards we commonly deal with.
The process of mapping alignments is ongoing, so ask if your framework has been completed.
AGED CARE QUALITY STANDARDS
We assess small, medium and large organisations (State and National) against the new Aged Care Quality Standards.
We have developed a complete set of audits for each separate standard and ‘deep dive’ audits for high risk areas.
You can purchase our tools with some training provided or we can conduct external gap analysis on a one-off or regular basis.
