At QUAD A, we’re driven by one goal: elevating healthcare quality. In pursuit of this mission, we’re making significant updates to our accreditation standards. This comprehensive overhaul, coming in 2025, is designed to sharpen our focus on what matters most—making sure that every standard reflects the best possible level of care for patients.
We’re refining and streamlining our standards by cutting out redundancies, fixing problem areas, and adding clear, actionable guidance. These changes are all about making compliance simpler and more straightforward, and we want your input to help shape the final version. Here’s a quick look at what’s ahead:
We will provide detailed Change Reports to help you understand and navigate the revisions.
This update is powered by the dedication and expertise of our Standards Committee, a team of respected medical professionals who have put in the hard work to shape these new standards.
To our Standards Committee, a sincere thank you. Your relentless commitment has been key to advancing our mission of upholding the highest standards in healthcare quality and patient safety.
Get ready. The new standards are coming and you will want to prepare for implementation. Accreditation from QUAD A will remain the benchmark for quality in healthcare.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to excellence and putting Patients First. Always.
In addition to our standards overhaul, we want to remind you that the revised Rural Health Clinic (RHC) standards, recently implemented by CMS, will take effect on October 14, 2024.
These updates align with current regulations and best practices, underscoring our commitment to high-quality care and patient safety. We encourage you to review the revised RHC standards here and prepare for implementation.
