Establish an ongoing maintenance habit with ACT.

Author: Mary Nicholas    Date: May 3, 2010

Many accredited HQAA customers have taken advantage of the support, resources and bite-sized approach to maintain the quality processes and procedures put into place with the accreditation journey. If you haven’t taken a peek, or inquired about how the ACT service can guide you into a maintenance habit.

Features of the ACT service include:

  • Discussion Forum — Subscribers can openly discuss topics that are relevant. There is a discussion forum for every U.S. state so that rules, regulations and discussion can occur pertinent to your location. Sharing Quality anecdotes, success stories and inquiries will do nothing but strengthen the industry as a whole.
  • Sharing Progress — The bite-sized weekly topic outlines can be shared via email with anyone in the organization. Email progress to the CEO, to the HR manager or to the Quality Management Team for meeting discussions.
  • Workroom/Coach Access — Updating your policies and procedures? Upload the revisions in your Workroom and receive coach feedback.
  • Worksheet Timeline — Quick visual showing completion of the monthly topic worksheets. Miss working on any? Go back to pick them up and work through at your leisure.
  • Education / Resources — Each monthly topic has been turned into an audio/visual training session which can be viewed unlimited times and can be offered to all staff to ensure complete understanding of not only the topics but the standards that the topics relate to. The sessions are presented in an appealing manner with voice-over that emphasizes the most important points.
MOST IMPORTANTLY — Maintaining your accreditation requirements over the term of your accreditation will prevent unnecessary costs and time backtracking at your next survey. Be proACTive and take bite-size steps all along the way!
