Does accreditation impact quality? Are there less errors in hospitals that are accredited? What is the value of accreditation? Do quality concerns initiate changes in staff behavior? Should accreditation be based on results?
EXPLANATION:
Accreditation criteria are intended to compare healthcare efficiency with the requirements and legal regulations developed and offer a ranking based on the services rendered. They are based on their quality of services. Patients typically depend on positive accreditation for healthcare. In addition to that, if health insurance is favorably approved, grants under Medicare , Medicaid and other public support programs are available for receipt. Accreditation can also be regarded as a quality assurance for providers of healthcare and allows them to improve their standards of quality.
Hospitals have been shown to aspire to be certified and they strive to boost their overall performance. The quality deficiencies rate in these companies is rather low, and patient sensitivity is also quite high. I conclude that accreditation should not be based only on outcomes, but rather on overall service delivery success. This helps improve the overall healthcare quality that patients receive.
