ACHC Announces Partnership with DNV for Total Hospital Accreditation
RALEIGH, NC (PRWEB) July 05, 2013 -- The Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC) is pleased to announce its partnership with DNV Healthcare Inc., an international hospital accreditation company based in Norway, to provide hospitals with a total accreditation solution. José Domingos, ACHC CEO said, “This is truly a customer-focused solution. We will leverage our individual strengths to provide hospitals with a superior total solution. Hospitals will now have an alternative they can feel good about that meets our mutual goal of improving patient care.”
Hospitals that want to consider alternative accreditation options can now benefit from the collaborative arrangement between ACHC and DNV. DNV has been accrediting hospitals since 2008, while ACHC provides accreditation for ancillary services, such as: Pharmacy, Sleep, Behavioral Health, Private Duty, Home Health, Hospice and Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS). The organizations share similar philosophies about the survey process and a common interest to assess the ability of organizations to deliver high-quality services.
ACHC is a not-for-profit organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. They are ISO 9001:2008 certified and have CMS Deeming Authority for Home Health, Hospice and DMEPOS. ACHC is the provider’s choice for accreditation because of their personal accreditation advisors, relevant and realistic standards, competitive pricing and a friendly, consultative approach to accreditation. Accreditation by ACHC reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.
