QIS2015 Certification
QIS2015 - The Quality Standard for Self Management Interventions of all types.
First published in April 2012, and significantly updated in 2015 to include digital interventions, QIS2015 is the “gold standard” for the self-management sector. QISMET developed this universal standard to assure the delivery of consistently high quality self-management interventions of all types of provision.
The types of intervention available are rapidly changing to reflect the needs of all individuals who may require self-management education. In addition, digitally based programmes offer a wide range of approaches that include apps, coaching, telephone support, access to groups and libraries of information.
The key requirements for QISMET accreditation are that the approach must provide structured education and must have defined relevant outcomes that can be demonstrated are achieved. We do not accredit stand-alone products that are not part of a structured education pathway .

What Others Think
"The quality of self management provision is key for individuals to know that they are getting a good service and for commissioners to know that they are getting value for money.
I welcome the establishment of QISMET which will develop standards and accreditation processes for self management education and training"
Miles Ayling, Director of Innovation and Service Improvement, Department of Health
We have found the process of QISMET certification against quality standard QIS2015 to be rigorous and of value. It guided us through the process of needs assessment, research, user testing and development of our epilepsy support product.
We now feel confident that we have developed ‘Epilepsy and you’ (an online self-management programme for adults with epilepsy) properly, thanks to positive feedback from the QISMET assessor about our evidence review and co-production.
We hope that the quality mark that QISMET provides will give learners and commissioners faith in our product. We are very proud to have met the standards and to be able to display the QISMET logo.
