About ISO 9001:2015:
ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify. ISO 9001 was first published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international agency composed of the national standards bodies of more than 160 countries. The current version of ISO 9001 was released in September 2015.

About NCQA Certification:
NCQA's Credentials Verification Organization (CVO) Certification Program evaluates credentials verification operations and the processes that the CVO uses to continuously improve the services it provides to its managed care clients.  CVO certification is available to organizations that conduct credentials verification, report the credentialing information to clients and have systems in place to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the information. The NCQA Certification Survey includes rigorous onsite and offsite evaluations conducted by a survey team that includes at least one CR surveyor and one administrative surveyor.  A Review Oversight Committee (ROC) of physicians analyzes the team's findings and assigns a certification status based on the CVO's performance against core standards and the requirements within applicable certification options.
