Quality Assurance and Accreditation

Quality Assurance (QA) is the process organizations use to ensure their products or services meet certain standards consistently, focusing on prevention and continuous improvement. Accreditation is a formal recognition granted by an authoritative body that an organization meets specific quality standards. Together, QA and accreditation help verify that institutions, like hospitals or schools, provide reliable, high-quality services, fostering trust and accountability. QA involves ongoing internal checks, while accreditation provides an external validation of overall quality and effectiveness.
