Accreditation: Does It Play a Role in Driving Accountability?

The concept of a doctor listening to the heartbeat of a medical organization, by holding up the listening end of a stethoscope to a group of various medical-themed icons on a virtual display, including a heart, a flask, a cross, a pill, a tooth, a microscope, a wheelchair, a syringe, and a molecule.

What is accreditation and does it promote quality of healthcare? Many industries and professional societies have governing bodies that provide a specific set of guidelines and processes, for example, to provide accreditation. Due to vast regulatory forces, there has been the need for professional groups to provide accreditation standards and accredit organizations based on the standards. Many professions outside of healthcare require accreditation. Can you think of one example of a group of professionals or an industry that requires accreditation? Education and educational institutions may come to mind.

  • Accreditation
  • Certification

Accountability in healthcare refers to obligations and willingness to be responsible for one’s actions, and is driven by three primary areas:

  • The marketplace,
  • Regulation, and
  • Professionalism.

Who provides accreditation for healthcare? Due to pressure from regulators, payors, and market forces, some government-based and professional organizations provide accreditation within the healthcare industry. For example:

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), as a governmental payor through the Social Security Act, requires minimum compliance with process standards for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospice programs, critical access hospitals, comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities, laboratories, and ambulatory surgical centers. (Ransom et al., 2014, p. 496)

Accreditation in healthcare is not restricted to the United States. Accreditation Canada (2018) stated that the advantages of accreditation include:

  • Promoting better use of resources,
  • Advocating for increased quality and safety,
  • Strengthening efficiency,
  • Advancing reduction of risk,
  • Assisting providers and organizations with financial viability, and
  • Expanding competitive advantage.

Now that you have a basic understanding of the accrediting process, review the following list of accrediting agencies. Choose at least one that provides accreditation in the area of healthcare you have identified as a current or future career goal. What are the standards measured and how do they promote quality of care in this setting? How would your future role as a healthcare director, administrator, or leader be challenged based on emerging trends or changes in these accreditation standards due to healthcare reform and patient expectations?
