Development and the Principle of Standard Implementation and Evaluation are the

Accreditation
Process
The hospital or medical facility voluntarily
submits an application to be evaluated for HA Accreditation. A survey and
interviews are used for HA accreditation. Interviews with hospital management,
clinical and support workers, and team members are conducted by the surveyors.
As part of the assessment procedure, patients and relatives are also
interviewed.
The survey team from the Institute of
Hospital Quality Improvement and Accreditation evaluates the hospital's or
healthcare facility's services after seeing patient care. The surveyors visit
the medical facility and make notes about the areas used for patient care.
The group examines written materials as
well as patient medical records. The Institute of Hospital Quality Improvement
and Accreditation examines the organization's accomplishments in light of the
assessment's standards after the survey and offers outcome measures.
