Effects of accreditation on quality of healthcare
This study explores how the accreditation of healthcare providers has influenced the healthcare landscape. It defines accreditation as voluntary programs where external peer reviewers evaluate a healthcare organization’s compliance with formally pre-established performance standards. The International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua) guides and standardizes the development of the agencies involved in accreditation processes. In several studies, accreditation has been shown to increase the satisfaction score of providers, compliance with standards, more numerous and higher quality guidelines, improved patient care environments, improved nursing environments and job satisfaction. When exploring patient outcomes, accreditation has been shown to improve acute myocardial infarction mortality rates, increased rate of percutaneous coronary intervention, compliance with core measure for acute myocardial infarction, more favourable outcomes in hospital infections rates, decubitus ulcers and postoperative respiratory failure. The conclusion is that there is evidence that accreditation improves clinical outcomes and should therefore be used as a tool to improve the quality of healthcare services.
