Hospital Accreditation
8 Contact Hours - 2 Days
Overview Ensuring quality is a critical component of high-performing health systems. Having access to healthcare is not enough:
patients who enter the health care system - whether a clinic, a hospital, or another venue-need to be confident that they will receive care that is safe, effective, and consistent with the latest clinical evidence.
This is particularly important for hospitals, where patients are acutely and often severely ill, but all the data suggest that the quality of care is far from optimal.
There are large variations in complications and mortality rates across hospitals.
The concerns about level and variations in hospital quality are not new.
We have known for decades that hospitals differ in their ability to provide high-quality care for patient-and our national strategy for ensuring and improving care has been accreditation.
The notion is simple:
using an external, independent body that applies objective criteria to ensure that hospitals are implementing evidence-based practices to maximize patient outcomes.
