NABH sets new entry-level standards for accreditation of hospitals

Many small hospitals may find the new norms beyond their capacity The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) has released a new batch of entry-level standards for accreditation of smaller hospitals. As the name suggests, Entry Level Standards are meant for hospitals who want to get started on the quality certification journey, but are unable to do so due to the stringent requirements of the full NABH accreditation. "The whole idea behind introducing this new set of standards is to become more inclusive; to get a number of hospitals to join the quality journey. With the full set of NABH standards, recognised by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare [ISQua] many smaller hospitals cannot even hope to apply for," explains K.K.Kalra, CEO, NABH. Currently, there are only 227 hospitals with NABH accreditation, and about 1200 in various stages of application. The new standards will be a foot in the door for a number of small hospitals
