Quality assurance
Quality Assurance (QA) is the process through which Information Sharing Protocols (ISPs) and Agreements are checked for consistent use of the WASPI templates and appropriate application of the Guidance on the Development of an ISP or other agreements. To date, five regional groups have been established to oversee the quality assurance process with the fundamental aim of the groups is to support the continued quality assurance of Information Sharing Protocols and Agreements, which stakeholders have identified as a key part of the WASPI framework. The WASPI team works collaboratively with the regional groups to ensure that there is open and frank sharing of opinion and ideas that help to keep WASPI effective and relevant.
An overview of the regional groups can be seen here.
Details how to contact the groups as well as the QA meeting schedule can be found here.
