Reviews

"There is much to recommend in this book to BJN readers, especially those with an interest in management quality issues. It would be an inexpensive addition to any library." - British Journal of Nursing "For anyone undertaking graduate or postgraduate studies in any subject that touches on health policy and quality of services this text provides an excellent resource...This is a value-for-money read that examines a topic currently gaining increased attention in a comprehensive and readily accessible manner." - Nursing Times "Professor Scrivens' treatment of whatsome may regard as a dry subject is thorough without becoming cumbersome. She leads her readers through the international history of accreditation in a way that will be of interest to many, in particular, students of health policy..." - Health Service Journal "The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning what an accreditation programme contains...The book is an excellent and up-to-date study on the subject of accreditation, both describing the different systems and analyzing its implications for health policy." - Health Economics "...a timely book....especially useful to those beginning to explore development of country-specific accreditation systems." - International Journal for Quality in Health Care
