What is required for continuing NIAHO® accreditation by DNV?

For continuing NIAHO® accreditation by DNV, a successful annual survey is essential. This biennial assessment ensures that healthcare organizations consistently meet the accreditation standards over time. The annual survey serves as a critical checkpoint, allowing DNV to evaluate compliance with regulations, improve outcomes, and assure patient safety and quality of care.

Maintaining accreditation is dependent upon passing this survey, thus reinforcing the importance of ongoing adherence to required protocols and preventive measures. Unlike a triennial survey, which is less frequent, the annual survey provides a regular opportunity for healthcare organizations to demonstrate their commitment to high standards, enabling ongoing accreditation status. This regularity aids organizations in identifying areas for improvement and sustaining their commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery.
