What is Accreditation? Accreditation (A Rooney and P vanOstenburg): “A formal process by which a recognized body, usually a nongovernmental organization (NGO), assesses and recognizes that a health care organization meets applicable pre-determined and published standards. Accreditation standards are usually regarded as optimal and achievable, and are designed to encourage continuous improvement efforts within accredited organizations. Follow-up accreditation surveys are typically conducted every two to three years.” (Rooney AL, vanOstenberg PR. Licensure, accreditation, and certification: approaches to health services quality. Center for Human Services (CHS), 1999.)
Accreditation programmes developed around the world By 2000 there were 36 identified. The number of programmes has doubled every five years since 1990. (Graph: Charles Shaw)
