Aiding decision-making and improving quality

Last modified date:21 July 2008
How can the information accreditation scheme aid in decision-making?
A quality mark will show people that the information they are offered comes from a reliable source. By providing an external ‘seal of quality’, the information accreditation scheme will support people at times when they may be anxious and vulnerable and are relying on the information to help them to make a decision.
It will also help health and social care professionals identify information they can feel confident recommending to their patients and users.
How can the information accreditation scheme improve quality?
The information accreditation scheme, with its external review and support, will help information producers better understand where and how they can improve their information production systems. Integrating standards of excellence in the production of information into the very practice of an organisation supports them in producing better, more consistent information.
