Unify Your Approach to Accreditation
Hospitals that are aligned with larger systems of care benefit from the whole team approach to Accreditation:
- Break down silos, streamline cross-departmental processes and create a team approach to treatment
- Establish system's commitment to higher standards and gives each participating facility a competitive edge
- Increase collaboration and provide processes for jointly tackling variations of care across the system
- Provide greater insight into collection of metrics to ensure that processes meet the system's quality and cost-of-care goals
- Foster a culture of cooperation and guide prioritization of compliance effort across the system
- Identify innovative operational approaches, ways to pinpoint gaps, measure results, and revise current processes
- Demonstrate the system's commitment and dedication to exceptional cardiac care to the broader regional community
- Reduce liability by using a consistent risk stratification approach for patient care based on research and best practices
