Quality assurance is an important part of the health care process. Each program in Women's Health has a set of required quality assurance processes, such as chart audits and site visits by regional and state staff. In addition, local programs undergo periodic routine self-audits to assure the care provided was adequate and appropriate, and that the processes surrounding the visit, such as data entry of client information, billing, and other routine non-medical processes are in compliance with the program rules, policies, and state public health laws.

The key source for local health department quality assurance requirements is the Local Health Department Agreement Addenda.
