What Is Accreditation?

 

AdobeStock_187164500

QUAD A accreditation programs help facilities demonstrate a strong commitment to patient safety, standardize quality, promote services to patients, and collaborate with other healthcare leaders.

An accredited facility must comply with the most stringent set of applicable standards available in the nation and meet our strict requirements for facility directors, medical specialist certification, and staff credentials. It also must pass a thorough survey by qualified QUAD A surveyors. An accredited facility must be fully equipped to perform procedures in the medical specialties listed on its accreditation application.


Why is Accreditation Important?

Accreditation assures the public that patient safety is the top priority in a facility. QUAD A provides official recognition to facilities that have met 100% of its high standards. Knowing that a facility is accredited by QUAD A assures you that extra steps were taken to foster a safe environment for your medical or surgical care. Your safety is the primary concern during any medical or surgical procedure.
