Questions

Where do the HIS questions come from?

Each question is drawn from the Healthcare Improvement Scotland Quality Assurance Framework, its 3 key focus areas and their quality indicators, and names the standard it comes from with a link to the regulator's own page. The facts were checked against healthcareimprovementscotland.scot on 15 October 2026.

Does the score predict my HIS grade?

No. The score shows where your evidence is strong and where it is thin, key focus area by key focus area, so you know what to work on first. HIS decides the grade after its own assessment.

Does HIS endorse this quiz or wai?

Healthcare Improvement Scotland registers and rates providers. It does not approve, certify or endorse software, wai included, and software cannot earn a grade on a provider's behalf. wai keeps the records your team uses to show HIS how care is delivered, and HIS decides the grade.

What happens to my answers?

Your answers are scored in your browser and stay there. They are sent to us only if you ask for the full report by email, and then only to write and send it.
