One of the many standards being proposed and developed under the ISO/TC 304 is an Quality Management Standard in Health Care.
Over the years there have been some attempts. An ISO 9001 based system developed for the accreditation of healthcare organizations in the USA addressing Medicare requirements has been in used for several years now.It's about time that a healthcare quality management system came about. ISO 13485 is still at heart a manufacturing/production-centric standard as it is about medical devices. Care standards comes under its purview.
Ask them, you'd probably get a more accurate answer.I was aware of a Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and certification system offered to healthcare organizations prior to hearing about the ISO 7101:2023 standard. I am wondering if the ISO technical committee (TC304) had members who were part of the JCI and brought part of their experience and expertise into the ISO 7101?
