The HCAC accreditation model see the accreditation process as an ongoing drive for continuous improvement, in which health care institutions and professionals become the managers of their own development. In this way, step by step, the stages of self assessment, detection of areas of improvement and/or development and subsequent monitoring take on the most important role in the model. The HCAC is present in the entire process and provides the facilities and the professionals with the tools and skills they require to drive their institutions towards continuous quality improvement.
Currently, HCAC is provide accreditation based on compliance to the HCAC Hospital Accreditation Standards. This is a comprehensive package involving survey against the ISQua accredited HCAC Hospital Accreditation Standards. An ongoing quality improvement framework is part of the HCAC Hospital Accreditation Program.
HCAC intends to expand its scope of accreditation programs by developing new clusters of standards for primary health care facilities, laboratories, medical transportation, private clinics, specialty programs, and disease specific programs will be developed. Standards will be submitted to the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua) for accreditation.
