A nationally recognized accreditation leader, Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) embodies excellence, integrity, and unparalleled service. Since 1986, our goal has been simple: to help you demonstrate the highest standards of performance and patient care through our educational, collaborative approach to accreditation.
I have obtained successful accreditation by [another accreditor] for 30 years, and this was my first experience with ACHC. By far, this was the very best survey experience I have had in my entire career. The process of enrollment was smooth, and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The example policies were very useful. The standards are relevant and easy to understand and apply to our business, and the surveyor we had was phenomenal. Well done, ACHC!
