QIS2012 - The Standard for Health Management Programmes and Interventions is the new Standard developed by QISMET which will be universally applicable and therefore offers providers of newer programmes the opportunity to apply for certification
QISMET is to get up to £335,000 to test and develop innovative approaches to improve health and wellbeing, Care Services Minister Paul Burstow announced.
The number and range of self management programmes have grown significantly over the last ten years. Currently there are no common quality standards for provider organisations and commissioners to work to.
With the shift towards ‘any quality provider’ in the NHS and the increased emphasis on quality and outcomes, it is vitally important that all organisations providing self management and self care programmes work to agreed quality standards.
Thus commissioners and participants will be able to make informed choices about services in the knowledge that QISMET certificated providers are operating to a nationally agreed standard. QISMET was set up to work with all stakeholders to achieve this.
