Benefits of accreditation through ACHSI
An organisation that participates in accreditation through ACHS International exhibits its commitment to the provision of safe and quality services and a process of continuous improvement. The ACHS International Quality Program is a rigorous program and participation indicates an organisation is voluntarily prepared to undergo a highly regarded and globally recognised external peer review.
An organisation seeks accreditation to demonstrate:
· Dedication to providing safe, quality care and patient satisfaction
· A commitment to continuous quality improvement
· That effective systems are in place to achieve the best possible patient outcomes
· Its ability to meet internationally recognised standards making it attractive to international health professionals.
The ACHSI accreditation will provide organisations with:
· A proven, well established and internationally recognised continuous quality improvement program, structured around a four-year cycle
· An affordable improvement and review process
· A tailored approach that meets local (for example cultural and legal) needs.
“We look forward to our ongoing relationship with ACHSI as a means of monitoring our progress toward the goals of quality improvement and patient safety.”
