Objectives This study examines the impact of accreditation on the quality of public healthcare delivery in primary and secondary healthcare facilities in Kerala, India. Study Design A cross-sectional study. Setting Kerala State, India Participants Participants are the in-patients (621) who are admitted in medical wards at accredited (312) and non-accredited (309) public healthcare facilities. Main Outcome Measures Ten constructs used in the study, overarching the quality healthcare delivery, adapting previous studies, SERVQUAL, and Donabedian's SPO models, are Physical Facility, Admission Services, Patient centeredness, Accessibility of Medical Care, Financial Factors, Professionalism, Staff Services, Medical Quality, Diagnostic Services, and Patient Satisfaction. Methods The study employed a positivist approach using a survey questionnaire. The study was conducted from July 2017 to July 2018, using stratified random sampling consists of the four strata; GHs, W&C hospitals, THQHs/THs, and CHCs. Results Accreditation has a positive impact on patient satisfaction and other quality dimensions, overarching structural and procedural quality in primary healthcare facilities under the public sector in Kerala. Conversely, accreditation has not improved the quality dimensions in secondary healthcare facilities and, thereby, the satisfaction of patients. Conclusions It cannot be assumed that accreditation is always associated with quality care in primary healthcare facilities. The implementation process must be systematic and must be regularly monitored to make it useful. Mere structural transformation through accreditation alone cannot guarantee patient satisfaction. Secondary healthcare facilities must be transformed into quality care centers through rhetoric action of the authorities concerned through organized efforts.

“…Os autores expõem que antes da acreditação havia ambiguidade e falta de clareza na descrição dos procedimentos e nas responsabilidades dos enfermeiros quando ocorriam incidentes. Após a AH esses profissionais sabem como notificar os eventos e possuem indicadores específicos que os auxiliam na identificação das falhas 22 .…”

Objetivo: compreender a atuação do enfermeiro no contexto da Acreditação Hospitalar. Metodo: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada de janeiro a junho de 2019, nas bases Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Bases de Dados Específica da Enfermagem, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online. Foram selecionados artigos originais, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, que apresentassem relatos ou experiências da atuação do enfermeiro em contextos de Acreditação Hospitalar da Organização Nacional de Acreditação. Os artigos foram analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Resultado. Como resultado encontraram-se 10 artigos que respondiam ao objetivo do estudo e emergiram três categorias temáticas referentes ao papel do enfermeiro: Assistencial, Administrativo e Educativo. Na assistência, o enfermeiro exerce atividades de avaliação de resultados e ações, emprego e elaboração de indicadores, aplicação de protocolos, controle de medicamentos, produtos e equipamentos, articulação entre a equipe multiprofissional e incorporação de medidas de segurança. No administrativo, realização de planejamento, estabelecimento de metas, participação em comissões, desenvolvimento de políticas de qualidade e reorganização do trabalho. Como educador, o enfermeiro desenvolve ações de fortalecimento da cultura de segurança e qualidade. Concluiu-se que o enfermeiro possuía competências e habilidades que auxiliavam no processo de Acreditação Hospitalar, importantes para o credenciamento da instituição hospitalar.

Introduction Saudi Arabia has one of the highest numbers of health organizations accredited by the Joint Commission International. This study aimed to measure this process’s effectiveness in improving quality at King Fahd Hospital of the University in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the study investigated health providers’ perceptions of this process. Materials and Methods This research utilized a convergent parallel mixed method. For the quantitative analysis, an interrupted time series was conducted to assess the changes in a total of 12 quality outcomes pre- and post-accreditation. Thematic analysis was utilized to collect and analyze qualitative data from hospital employees and health providers. Results The quantitative results indicated that pursuing accreditation positively impacted nine out of 12 outcomes. The improved outcomes included: the average length of stay, the percentage of hand hygiene compliance, the rate of nosocomial infections, the percentage of radiology reporting outliers, the rate of pressure ulcers, the percentage of the correct identification of patients, the percentage of critical lab reporting, and the bed occupancy rate. The outcomes that did not improve were the rate of patients leaving the ER without being seen, the percentage of OR cancelations, and the rate of patient falls. The qualitative analysis suggested that the accreditation process was perceived positively by participants. Nevertheless, participants also highlighted some of the drawbacks of this process, including: the potential bias in observation-based key performance indicators, the focus on improving process without enhancing the hospital structure, and the increased workload. Conclusion International accreditation had a positive impact on quality and was received positively by providers. However, several issues need to be addressed by hospital administrators in future accreditation cycles. According to participants, the most notable issue during the first two accreditation cycles was the increased workload and paperwork, which can potentially distract from patient care.
