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 certification are that the approach must provide structured education and must have defined relevant outcomes that can be demonstrated are achieved. We do not certificate 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
'Our online type 2 diabetes education programme was accredited against the QIS2015 Quality Standard in December last year. Certification is vital for us because it provides reassurance to commissioners that we are delivering a quality product.
This is a rigorous process but the investment in time was definitely worth it. The self-assessment workbook ensured that we had all the necessary protocols and procedures in place ready for the audit visit, and the QISMET team were on hand to answer any questions and provide support.
The audit day went smoothly and our team appreciated the positive feedback and suggestions for further improvement.
