1. Why Accreditation Matters

NABH, NABL, and JCI accreditations boost a hospital’s clinical quality, patient safety, brand credibility, and international patient trust. A Healthcare consultancy helps navigate complex standards, implement best practices, and ensure documentation readiness.

2. Scope of Accreditation Consultancy Services

Look for consultants who offer end-to-end support:

• Gap analysis and readiness assessment

• SOPs, manuals, and policy creation

• Staff training & mock audits

• Quality indicator development and tracking

• Internal audits and corrective action planning

• Application support and assessor coordination

3. Expertise in Relevant Standards

Select consultants with proven experience in:

• NABH (Entry-Level & Full) for hospitals, clinics, and eye centers

• NABL for pathology, microbiology, and molecular labs

• JCI for tertiary and international care facilities

• Knowledge of ISO 15189, ISQua, and other global standards

• Familiarity with QMS, IMS, and clinical governance frameworks

4. Customization Based on Facility Type

Ensure the consultant can tailor services to:

• Multispecialty hospitals, diagnostics labs, single-specialty centers

• Day-care or ambulatory units

• Multi-location or chain facilities

• Department-specific accreditation (e.g., blood bank, ICU, OR)

5. Cost Considerations

Pricing typically depends on scope, size, and accreditation level:

Also consider travel, documentation printing, and post-assessment support costs.

6. Support, Training & Sustainability

Consultants should provide:

• Hands-on training for all staff levels

• Leadership coaching for quality heads and department champions

• Process audit templates, quality dashboards, and compliance trackers

• Digital document control and policy update systems

• Post-accreditation handholding and renewal readiness
