Accreditation is regarded as one of the critical benchmarks for measuring the quality of an organization. It demonstrates compliance with industry standards, best practices, and vital operations. The attainment distinguishes a provider from its competition and reinforces a commitment to its patient.
Health providers who partner with the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) know that they are working with an organization known for excellence and quality since 1986. This nonprofit has CMS deeming authority for home health, hospice, DMEPOS, and renal dialysis accreditation, and a quality management system that is ISO 9001:2008 certified.
ACHC developed its program specifically for Medicare-certified home health agencies. The realistic standards help providers meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs) and industry best practices. Registered nurses—with home care experience who understand home health agencies—conduct the certifications.
ACHS provides support before, during, and after the on-site survey. They offer personalized consulting solutions, program-specific workshops, and compliance tools, which have positively affected countless organizations.
