As part of our role as a hospital advisor, we often interact with healthcare professionals from different hospitals, some of whom are healthcare professionals. One of the most discussed topics is NABH accreditation, as the country is currently focusing on responsibility and quality of medical care. Hospital owners, particularly small hospitals (less than 50 beds), are no more convinced of the importance of quality accreditation than their counterparts in large hospitals.
Benefits of Hospital Accreditation for Small Hospitals
Systems Government, not people
High-quality hospital accreditation not only aims to improve nursing standards but also recommends the implementation of standard work instructions for important clinical and administrative processes. Small hospitals are generally owned by medical contractors who always strive to balance their clinical practice with the operation of the hospital. In such a scenario, accreditation becomes a tool for the physician to optimize operations and ensure that systems control processes, not the people who control them.
Best record-keeping NABH accreditation is often viewed as additional office work that involves just keeping records. Due to the unequal ratio of nurses to patients, the small hospital staff is concerned about the accreditation process as they see it as an additional responsibility. Contrary to popular belief, accreditation is a process intended to simplify processes that improve patient and staff satisfaction and safety. The focus on evidence-based practices can expand the literature. However, NABH accepts documents created in any format by hospital staff and recommends the adoption of best practices to minimize office work. The culture of up-to-date records supports both the hospital and staff with data analysis, performance evaluation, forensic cases, and emergencies.
Social benefits The process of streamlining activities to improve efficiency plays a larger role in small hospitals with limited resources. NABH's focus on the safety, development, and rights of its employees is an essential driver for employees to work towards quality improvement. Additionally, recognition of an outside organization in recognition of their efforts, increases their morale, and encourages them to learn, train, and improve.
Patient Delectation The patient, who is the most important stakeholder in a hospital, benefits most from quality accreditation. NABH accreditation symbolizes quality, responsibility and patient safety, which is reflected in the overall operation of the hospital. With increased patient awareness, increased competition between hospitals, and stricter official regulations, NABH ACCREDITATION is on the agenda. This applies in particular to the nursing home and the small hospital sector is known for its human touch and irregular operation.
