The history behind QHA QHA: "Quality Healthcare Advice" first opened its doors for business in 2010. It was formed after the NHS-based organisation Trent Accreditation Scheme (TAS) made the decision to withdraw from all hospital accreditation-related activities. There was a considerable pool of talent, expertise, experience and enthusiasm in existence just waiting to be drawn upon from the surveyors that used to work for this company. The professionals who decided to form QHA felt the work of surveying hospitals and clinics to be highly worthwhile and important.

An external eye can be very helpful when it comes to uncovering problems and concerns within a hospital or clinic and correcting them. The best disinfectant for problems and concerns is to cast light upon them. Problems and concerns can not only discomfit patients, third party payers and regulatory authorities but can also cost a healthcare provider or a doctor money, for example if a disatisfied patient were to take legal action. Also, hospitals and clinics may wish to have external verification of their commitment to quality, for example to assist them with their marketing. How are the charges calculated for a QHA Trent survey? When surveying a hospital or a clinic with beds, the charges incurred take into account a number of factors, including: the number of beds in the hospital or the number of surveyors needed and the number of days the survey will take (which, in turn, are based on the size of the hospital) public versus private ownership of the hospital any optional services requested Prices for working with clinics without beds will be subject to a different scale of fees.
