How can HCI help your organization become accredited?

Few organizations have the extra staff capacity necessary to allow preparation for accreditation while conducting ‘'business as usual'. HCI consultants will streamline accreditation preparation by developing a framework that your staff will find simple to follow. This framework will provide direction and an understanding of what is required to meet each phase of the accreditation process.

HCI's primary focus is to change the mindset from ‘'something we have to do' to 'something we want to do'. HCI will work with an organization's staff to thoroughly review the survey process and help staff members feel comfortable with their involvement.

How long does it take to prepare for the accreditation survey?

The length of times required for accreditation preparation depends on the availability of resources at your organization. HCI consultants will create a tailored approach to be used depending on the nature of the organization. Nevertheless, approximately 4-6 months is usually a reasonable period to set aside for accreditation preparation. However, if it is necessary to expedite the accreditation preparation process to meet regulatory or third-party payor requirements, HCI will assist the organization to expedite the preparation process.

Can HCI guarantee that your organization
will receive accreditation?

HCI cannot ‘guarantee’ that its every client will receive accreditation. Nevertheless, HCI has an excellent track record of successful accreditation outcomes among its clients. HCI will only recommend organizations to undergo the accreditation survey when it feels the organization is ready.
