Healthcare Quality Management

ASTRON INSTITUTE OF QUALITY
Accreditation to the hospitals is a significant step in

establishing Indian healthcare on the global horizon. It will
contribute in the process of enhancing confidence in the
Indian healthcare system on the international front and
will help in bringing in more international patients.
Quality in healthcare and Apollo hospitals have always
been synonymous. Joint Commission International (JCI)
which is USA's main hospital accreditation agency is
considered as the American mark of quality health care
and is the leader in accreditation and certification of
health care organizations outside USA. JCI gives ratings
in various areas such as patient safety and service
standards. The process of accreditation and postaccreditation surveillance ensure continuous focus on
patient safety and quality improvement. This is the most
significant contribution of JCI and has a positive impact
on patient care.

Medvarsity, AHERF & Astron Institue of Quality have come together to offer students an
exciting programme of study in Quality Management in Healthcare. This program is made up of
8 topics leading to an award of Certificate in Healthcare Quality Management.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Healthcare services today are scrutinized, measured, evaluated and publicized as never
before. An increasingly educated public expects to receive nothing less than excellent care
and services and it must be the mission of every healthcare organization to deliver that
excellence. Quality improvement is the process of continually evaluating existing processes
of care and developing new standards of practice and therefore has to be a core competency
for every healthcare manager and clinician at every level of medical practice: be they in
primary care clinics, acute hospitals, specialist centers of excellence or regulatory bodies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
The Certificate Course in Healthcare Quality is designed to provide participants with a

solid foundation of all the core elements of healthcare quality improvement. This course
provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamental concepts, tools and management
techniques through which quality management and improvement can be delivered in a
healthcare setting.
It will therefore be invaluable, not only to those entering healthcare quality for the first
time, but also for established healthcare managers needing an update of what is current
in the field.
