In the beginning of May this year, the College of Management held a professional meeting intended to present the quality management system (ISO 9001) in adult nursing day care centers and employment centers for people with intellectual disabilities in the community
The quality management system was developed over several years by the Shalem Fund in collaboration with the Division of Services for Persons with Development Disabilities, led by Dr. Yitzhak Tamuz.
The meeting was attended by managers and instructors in rehabilitation centers and day care centers, coordinators of the field of intellectual disabilities from a variety of authorities, CEOs of associations and supervisors in the districts and in the headquarters
The professional meeting is the result of cooperation between the service in the community, Division of Services for Persons with Development Disabilities and the Shalem Fund and it was held with the assistance and production of the College of Management with the academic coordination of Dr. Yitzhak Tamuz. The meeting’s goal was to expose the authorities, associations and organizations providing employment services and treatment to adults with intellectual disabilities, to the quality management system intended to enable the organization to have effective and gradual implementation of the ISO 9001 standard, in order to significantly improve all the organization’s activities. The standard is intended to provide constant improvement of the quality of service given by day care centers to adults requiring nursing treatments, and employment centers
