What is Accreditation, and Why Does it Matter?

Healthcare Accreditation is a voluntary process through which healthcare organizations undergo a thorough evaluation by an independent accrediting body to ensure they meet specific quality standards. These standards encompass various aspects of patient care, safety protocols, medical practices, and administrative procedures. Achieving Accreditation demonstrates a healthcare facility’s dedication to maintaining high-quality services and adhering to best practices.

What does Accreditation mean for our valued patients?
