NABH

We offers consultancy services for obtaining NABH accreditation for hospitals, clinics. National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) is a constituent board of Quality Council of India, set up to establish and operate accreditation programme for healthcare organisations. NABH Accreditation to a hospital stimulates continuous improvement. It enables the Hospital in demonstrating commitment to quality care and raises the community confidence in the services provided by the Hospital. It also provides opportunity to benchmark with the best.

Our consulting approach to the NABH Accreditation is unique in that we adopt a very close handholding approach, ensuring that our Consultants become an integral part of the exercise at the Hospital, an agent of the change being brought about. The NABH being an Accreditation Standard requires fundamental changes in the staff attitudes and behaviour if genuine improvement of quality in the delivery of care is to be brought about.This is followed by several rounds of awareness programs on the NABH Standards, covering different groups of staff and explaining to them those parts of the Standards relevant to their function. For example Nurses would be explained to on the NABH Standards related to Infection Control, Care of Patient, Management of Medication etc, Front Office Staff on Patient Access and Assessment, Information Management Systems, etc.

Once we are clear that a basic level of understanding has been achieved of the NABH requirements in all major departments, we start the system development process, with support of key hospital staff. This approach ensures an in-depth implementation. Based on the progress of implementation, monitored periodically through a series of mock audits and internal audits, the Hospital is prepared for the Assessment.
