A standard is a statement of excellence, or an explicit predetermined expectation that defines the key functions, activities, processes and structures required for healthcare facilities to assure the provision of safe and quality care and services.
Standards are developed by peer experts in the field and it is against the standards that conformity of the healthcare facility is evaluated. Simply stated, the standard describes a healthcare facility’s acceptable performance level. Broadly speaking, CBAHI’s standards are of three major types depending on which area they are addressing.
Credentialing refers to the process of collection and verification of the evidences of credentials of a doctor who is to be given the responsibility of
