Innovation, Trust and Sustainability: The Power of Accreditation in Digital Health & Telehealth

On the occasion of World Accreditation Day (June 9th), QAI and the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth (ISfTeH) bring together some of the ISfTeH members who are active in the standards and accreditation space or who provide related services.

Accreditation in telehealth services acts as a vital stamp of quality, verifying that virtual care meets rigorous safety, clinical, and data-security standards. It ensures patient data protection, standardized care delivery, and regulatory compliance. Staff education and training are also fundamental pillars of quality telehealth services.

Join us to learn more about this and to find out how it can be relevant for you, and which organizations can assist you with various aspects of telehealth and digital accreditation and training.
