  5. Ensuring Seamless Service Delivery:...

Dr. Mohammadali Farjoo – intellcert Australia / New Zealand

Recently, a friend faced a critical situation that is a powerful reminder of the importance of robust systems to ensure clients’ safety and well-being. Working in a high-pressure psychological service environment, they encountered a life-threatening scenario where a patient was in severe distress and on the verge of self-harm. Fortunately, they identified the danger early and contacted emergency services, and the situation was brought under control.

However, what unfolded next revealed significant gaps within the organisation’s processes. Neither the direct manager nor the deputy was available for urgent support, and there was no clear protocol for handling such emergencies. Without proper training and a structured response plan, it could have devastating consequences for the patient and the entire organisation.

This incident highlights a critical point for businesses across all sectors: Quality Management Systems (QMS) are not just for product delivery; they are essential for ensuring seamless service delivery, especially when lives are at stake. Implementing a QMS can ensure that every step in a process, from risk identification to crisis management, is planned, tested, and secured.

Intellcert specialises in providing gap analysis and auditing services that help organisations identify these „what if“ scenarios before they become real-life emergencies. Regular internal audits and gap analyses reduce risks by:

 

In the case of the psychological service provider, if a comprehensive QMS had been in place, it would have included specific protocols for emergencies, a hierarchy of communication, and ongoing staff training. This would have ensured a smoother response and safeguarded the organisation from any potential liability.

By continuously evaluating and improving internal processes through frequent audits and gap analyses, businesses can mitigate risks and foster a continuous improvement culture, ensuring that their employees and customers are protected.
