CHKS Health Accreditation Services supplies healthcare information and improvement services and has worked with over 400 organisations in 20 countries in the last 25 years.
The company received some press brought about by allegations of involvement in attempts for health organizations to "hide" death rates from NHS. Said Julie Bailey, founder of a patient's advocacy group protesting the companies actions, "It’s obscene. We are talking about people’s lives here." [1]
The CHKS accreditation unit is experienced in developing and implementing healthcare quality standards. The unit is accredited to ISQua and ISO17021:2011 standards and organisations that undertake CHKS accreditation can achieve ISO 9001:2008 certification.
CHKS quality standards cover a range of key areas from patient experience to staff competencies while the accreditation programmes are tailored to various types of organisations from care homes to hospitals to addiction treatment centres.
