  • Accreditation's Impact - Quality Matters Brief

    We know that reducing variability improves quality and reduces cost. In this week's Quality Matters, we break down several research studies from the past 15 years to take a deeper look at a quality accreditation process and its impact on variability. We've identified studies that analyze accreditation engagement and motivation, critical success factors for quality assurance, and Washington State's approach to reducing variability.
