HCAC accreditation provides the power to act on recommendations and the tools for quality improvement.
These recommendation leads to real changes in the health system, and these changes impact health providers, clients and their families. The response to recommendations and the commitment of healthcare providers to implement quality improvement process within an organization, leads to real and positive changes in the delivery of service.
Health care facilities are expected to show transparency in the provision of care to the public, as well as to governments and stakeholders who seek on information on the quality of care and services provided. The HCAC Accreditation program offers a means for health care facilities to demonstrate their accountability for improving quality and safe care.
To effectively reduce the risk to patients, health care facilities and service providers are not only required to detect and prevent risk hazards but also to become learning organizations, which continually improve their ability to achieve patient safety. Continuous improvement requires a commitment to learning. The ability to learn from lessons drawn from adverse incidents is an ongoing dynamic that needs to be embedded into the culture and routine practice of the hospitals. The HCAC Accreditation program, through its standards and survey process helps to establish a learning and non-adversarial environment that will support hospitals to attain standards of excellence in quality care.
