A word about NABH HOPE

Parameters on which we were judged for the certification

Among the many paramenters, these were key:

• ♦ Statutory compliance – we had license to operate the equipment we use e.g. Laparoscopy, Color Doppler machine.
• ♦ Hospital Staff registration – we have the designation, qualification, degree recorded with us for permanent as well as visiting staff. 
• ♦ Physical infrastructure – say bed, quality of lab equipments, diagnostic machines are fit for purpose.
• ♦ Infection Control – Hygiene, cleanliness etc. meet the standard.

Certification process

There were two stages:

Desktop assessment: 

 ♦  Akruti uploaded document evidences to HOPE website

 ♦  HOPE officials verified the compliance or raised queries.

 ♦  Akruti responded with the resolution to those queries.

  ♦  HOPE either raise more queries, in which case steps 2-3 gets repeated or they are satisfied with the resolution and give a go ahead for Onsite Assessment – next stage.

Onsite assessment:

  ♦ On the decided date, assessor conducts assessment at the HCO premises.

  ♦ Assessor is either satisfied with the assessment and recommends center for certification or raises queries.

  ♦ Akruti has to resolve those in time allocated as per NABH.

  ♦ Assessors do a re-assessment and if satisfied recommend for certification. Else steps 2-3 are repeated.

This accreditation has added second feather in our cap, first being ICMR enrollment in Feb 2020.
