Crucial Controls

Aside from the need for very precise control at all levels in healthcare, there are some specific compliance structures that apply to the healthcare industry.

ISO 18000 (OHSAS 18000) specifies compliance for Occupational Health and Safety and ISO 14000 Environmental obviously affects manufacturing and the effects of production.

What is the difference between Conformance and Compliance?
When speaking of an EMS in conformance, we are talking about a system that meets a certain set of criteria.  When we speak of compliance in the EMS vernacular, we are talking about meeting the requirements of environmental regulations.  When we say that an organization has a system in place that conforms to the ISO 14001 standard, we do not mean to imply that they also comply with all applicable regulations.

Quality Workbench and Workbench Professional are used in these environments and had proved to be very effective. They provide the essential framework for your systems and allow incidents to be recorded and actions assigned to appropriate staff or areas / departments..
A complete history that is time and date stamped is built up around every significant action and a complete life history of each document in your system is accessible for audit purposes. Forced revision changes and archived past versions are provided as standard. Who did what and when is easily reported on and you can even create your own reports using our optional module ReportQuest. Choose from a variety of modules to suit your needs or expand the system as your requirement grows.
