ISO Certification for Care Companies

ISO 9001

Quality

The ISO 9001 standard will provide you with a robust framework for an internationally recognised Quality Management System. It focuses on satisfying customer requirements, improving the effectiveness of processes and ensuring you provide a consistently high quality of care. This in turn can help you meet the requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) outcomes.

Many companies in the care industry have already implemented the ISO 9001 standard because it enhances their ability to meet patients’ needs. The standard allows you to develop a management system that is appropriate to your structure, culture and processes. It will also help you drive continual improvements that benefit employees and patients.

ISO 45001

Occupational Health & Safety

The internationally recognised ISO 45001 standard is another great choice for care providers because it helps you manage health and safety risks across your organisation. By ensuring you run a safe working environment, you protect the well being of employees and patients.

National statistics for Occupational Health & Safety record thousands of workplace injuries and illnesses in the care sector every year. These result in millions of lost working days, which cost the sector millions of pounds. Implementing the ISO 45001 health and safety standards will help you reduce such incidents in your organisation, so preventing costly disruptions to your business.

Information Security

The third ISO standard we recommend for care industry organisations is the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS). Gaining ISO 27001 certification can help you improve your record keeping, protect patient data and reduce threats to your business. The standard’s framework provides a systematic process for collecting, storing, sharing and managing confidential data, which ensures you comply with all relevant data protection legislation.
