Who We Are

ISQua was established in 1985 with a vision to promote quality and safety in health care through international co-operation and collaboration. ISQua is dedicated to making this vision a reality.

While much has been achieved in the last 30 years of our operation, there is still more to be done. Adapting and continuing ISQua's vision for the future will always require new visionaries to carry things forward.

"ISQua is an international acorn. With our members behind it, you never know how much growth that acorn may one day achieve" - Jack Best, ISQua President 1991-1993, writing in the ISQua Journal in 1995.

Strategic Goals 2022 - 2026

ISQua’s most recent strategy, which covers 2022-2026, was approved by the Board on 15th June 2022.

 

We have recommitted to maintaining the overall strategic direction but have projected our key aims across the next five years.

 

Our mission statement remains the same – to inspire and drive improvement in the quality and safety of healthcare worldwide through education and knowledge sharing, external evaluation, supporting health systems, and connecting people through global networks.’

 

Our vision has been updated slightly to include ‘for all’ -  to be the global leader of healthcare quality and safety transformation for all.

 

Our Values have also been reviewed and modernised:

  • Excellence
  • Evidence-Based
  • Person-Centred
  • Sustainability
  • Equity
  • Integrity

 

We have added to our tagline of Knowledge, Network, and Voice, an additional evocative word – Action.
