• At the end of each calendar quarter, Institute staff compile lists of the awards/ratings that they have identified as meeting HIIQA scope criteria, as well as awards/ratings that have been nominated by the public (without regard as to whether or not they meet HIIQA scope criteria), during that quarter.
• Members of the HIIQA Advisory Board determine whether or not an identified or nominated award/rating meets HIIQA scope criteria.
• The Institute assess awards/ratings that a majority of the HIIQA Advisory Board says meet HIIQA scope criteria, and posts them on its web site.

To the next step in the process
