NABH ACCREDITATION

NABH is an acronym for National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers. NABH is equivalent to JCI and other International standards including HAS: Haute Authorite de Sante, Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, the Japan Council for Quality in Health Care, and the National Committee for Quality Assurance in the United States. Its standards have been accredited by ISQUA*. The approval of ISQua authenticates that NABH standards are in consonance with the global benchmarks set by ISQua. Hence making NABH accreditation at par with the world’s most leading hospital accreditations.

NABH is a constituent Board of Quality Council of India (QCI), set up with co-operation of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India and the Indian Health Industry. This Board caters to the much desired needs of the consumers and has set standards for progress of the health industry. The board is set up to establish and operate accreditation programme for healthcare organizations. NABH have designed an exhaustive healthcare standard for hospitals and healthcare providers. This standard consists of stringent 600 plus objective elements for the hospital to achieve in order to get the NABH accreditation. These standards are divided between patient centered standards and organization centered standards. NABH accreditation helps planners to promote, implement, monitor and evaluate robust practice in order to ensure that it occupies a central place in the development of the health care system. Thus the objective of NABH accreditation is on continuous improvement in the organizational and clinical performance of health services, not just the achievement of a certificate or award or merely assuring compliance with minimum acceptable standards.
