We understand the importance of having a secure environment for your industry organisation, and we have worked with many organisations in this sector to help implement different standards.

Why are ISO Standards important in the medical industry?

The medical industry is one of the most regulated industries in the world. This means it is important to follow strict guidelines and specific standards when producing and distributing medical goods. 

• ISO 9001 (QMS) helps organisations improve their processes by making sure they're organised and systematic. This certification can be applied to any type of business; however, many medical companies choose to use it because of its emphasis on safety measures. 
• ISO 13485 helps ensure that all parties involved in product development, production, distribution, and servicing are working together to maintain high-quality standards across all areas of the company's operations.
• ISO 27001 (ISMS) demonstrates the organisation is taking precautions to protect the data processed from unlawful access, corruption, and theft. It shows a commitment to protecting its information and that of staff, students, and partners. Stakeholders can be confident that all information captured and stored is validated by an internationally recognised framework. 
• Cyber Essentials, a government certification scheme to cover actions every organisation should take to ensure its digital security and protection from cyberattacks.
• ISO 14001 (EMS) provides guidance and practical tools to identify and control the institution’s environmental impact and ensure compliance with environmental legislation.
• ISO 17024 provides a framework for organisations to manage the competence of personnel to perform a job. This allows for the improved quality of the workforce and processes.
• ISO 17025 accreditation demonstrates that your laboratory is committed to following validated test procedures, respecting confidentiality, having only competent and authorised staff, using adequate test equipment, and ensuring the required environmental conditions.
• Legal register support ensures organisations in the medical industry are operating within the bounds of the law and thus, following best practices. 

How we can help. What challenges does the medical sector face and what are the solutions?

The medical and healthcare industries have a lot of challenges regarding ISO standards. The first and most obvious is that it's a very complicated industry, with many different types of businesses, each with its own specific needs. This makes it difficult for anyone who isn't familiar with the industry to understand what they're trying to do and why they're doing it.

Another challenge is that so many different types of businesses are involved in the medical industry, from hospitals to pharmaceutical companies to doctors' offices and more. Each of these companies has unique needs and requirements when it comes to meeting ISO standards, which can be difficult for someone who doesn't have experience working within the industry to understand.

Additionally, because there are so many different types of businesses involved in this field, it can be hard for one group to come up with a solution that works for everyone—especially when those solutions don't always align with the goals of other groups involved in the process (for example: if you're trying to provide better customer service while also reducing costs).

AvISO is here to help support these organisations by providing a seamless and effective approach, helping you understand how to apply these standards to your work; training them on how they should implement them; communicating with them about any changes, and encouraging them when they come up against challenges; and so on.
