ISQua Conference 2024: Connecting with Global Leaders in Healthcare
ACHS International had the opportunity to engage with global peers at the 40th ISQua Conference, building valuable connections and driving progress in healthcare quality.
ACHS International were pleased to exhibit at the 40th International ISQua Conference, held in Istanbul, Türkiye. With the theme, ‘Health for People and Planet: Building Bridges to a Sustainable Future,’ the conference gathered thought leaders, healthcare professionals, and policymakers from across the world to explore strategies for a healthier future, both for individuals and the environment.
The conference was an opportunity for our staff to connect with Members and colleagues in Istanbul. We recieved strong interest at our exhibit, as many attendees were eager to learn more about our accreditation, performance data, education, and consultancy services.

We are also pleased with the successful attendance at our pre-conference panel session co-hosted between ACHS International and Türkiye Health Care Quality and Accreditation Institute (TUSKA).
The session titled, ‘Next Generation Accreditation in Healthcare: Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence as Solutions to Current Challenges,’ touched on highly relevant topics shaping the future of accreditation and was very well received. It focused on how accreditation can adapt to assess safety and quality amid emerging challenges such as workforce shortages, new care models, environmental sustainability and the increasing influence of technology. Panellists discussed the transformative potential of digitisation, artificial intelligence and performance data to reshape accreditation assessment, and how these innovations can be harnessed to improve outcomes.
