We are delighted to announce that EIDO has achieved certification under the Department of Health’s Information Standard. This mark of quality is only awarded to organisations producing information that is:
- accurate
- impartial
- balanced
- evidence-based
- accessible and
- well written
Regular users of the INFOrm4U patient information library will recognise these as the very values that have underpinned EIDO’s information for over ten years.
During a rigorous two-day assessment, Information Standard assessors appreciated the comprehensive development and review process that all of EIDO’s information undergoes, remarking:
“EIDO Healthcare has produced convincing and sound evidence in support of its application for the Information Standard. There are clear written procedures and processes in place for the production of information.”
The assessment not only included samples from EIDO’s library of over 300 leaflets, but also examined its entire production processes, including the full evidence-based referencing of all leaflets.
Achieving this prestigious award has only confirmed what many hospital trusts have always recognised: that EIDO Healthcare is the world’s leading source of quality informed consent information for patients.
