We have already implemented grading/Accreditation system in our Hospital
- Process of
Accreditation
The accreditation program covers all aspects of a facility's operations and the standards apply to hospital. - Accreditation requires an in-depth review of every aspect of a hospital, management, operations and administration.
- Establishment of hospital goals and objectives with provision for periodic updating.
- Re-evaluation of whether hospital resources are being used in
accordance with hospital goals,
objectives and mission. - Re-evaluation of hospital policies and procedures especially as
documented in the hospital's
written directives system. - Correction of deficiencies before they become public problems.
- The
accreditation standards provide norms against which hospital
performance can be measured and monitored over time.

Accreditation
