Types of accreditation

Full accreditation is the usual format and relates to the healthcare organisation in its entirety. Partial accreditation deals with a certain part (department, process) of a larger organisation and must eventually be incorporated in a full accreditation.

For some organisational parts the organisation may uphold the partial accreditation even when a full accreditation is awarded. This usually concerns organisational units that also exist as separate healthcare providers outside the organisation.

A healthcare organisation that enters the accreditation program will sign a standard agreement. Click here for the standard Accreditation Agreement.
