As one physician executive put it, “with our old accreditation program, we spent too much time focusing on minutiae.” For dedicated caregivers, minutes are far more important than minutiae; and the time spent in the accreditation process should be inspired by and contribute directly to beIer patient care.

 

With DNV NIAHO^® accreditation, hospitals spend less time wondering if they are up to date on survey rules – and sometimes worrying if they even know what those rules are – and more time improving their processes and demonstrating better care for their patients.

 

DNV Accreditation is truly outcomes driven. By using ISO 9001 quality principles in concert with Medicare COPs, DNV NIAHO^® allows individual hospitals to find the best way to serve their patients.
