NABH accreditation and scope of services

What NABH accreditation means

NABH is a constituent board of the Quality Council of India. It sets standards for hospitals and assesses them through on-site audits by trained assessors. To be accredited, a hospital must show that it follows defined processes in areas such as:

• patient rights, consent and education
• assessment and continuity of care
• medication management and safe use of blood
• infection prevention and control
• patient safety and continuous quality improvement
• facility safety, staff training and medical records

Accreditation is reassessed at regular intervals, and it applies to the services named in the hospital’s scope of accreditation.
