schemes and the QI Golden rules for rule-makers:

Why health standards are important
Health standards help ensure that individuals and communities receive the quality of care they deserve. Health standards:
- ensure consistency and efficiency by not having multiple
specifications
- provide tools to assess and evaluate conformity and a solid
technical base for health legislation
- ensure good-quality care and safe and reliable products and
services
- Make it easier to compare health services, exchange
information and safeguard the privacy of an individuals health

Certification & Risk
Health & Disability Sector Seminar
13 September 2019 Presented by Kathryn Lockyer
Definition of Risk
- a situation involving exposure to danger.
- the possibility of something bad happening
Risk Based Thinking
- Inherent in a number of certification standards
- Provides a framework to identify potential areas of risk relevant to
processes
- And, then steps to eliminate potential areas of concern, or address actual
events to ensure they don’t occur
- Useful tools to help you understand risk
IS0 31000:2018 (Guidelines), IEC 31010:2019 (Risk assessment techniques)
Certification allows you to demonstrate your service meets requirements Certification is a tool to help mitigate Risk Certification can support regulation
In NZ certification activities covers the following areas:
- Aged Care
- Reproductive Technology
- Urgent care facilities
- Hospital care (Children’s health services, geriatric services, maternity services,
medical services, mental health services or surgical services)
- Alcohol and Other Drug Treatments
- Home and Community Support Sector
- Day-stay surgery
What’s Next?
Did you know that there are more than 1400 ISO standards that keep people healthy and safe?
Thank you
