 Dear Colleague:
It’s no secret that the accreditation / certification process gets harder and harder each year. The scope and complexity of the regulatory environment taxes even the strongest of organizations.
At the same time resources shrink and we’re asked to do more with less. This ever widening gap between need and ability places a hospital’s Joint Commission accreditation or CMS certification at risk.
Loss of accreditation or certification is now an unfortunate – and very real – possibility! Such loss can cause irreparable harm. This is simply one risk that no one can afford.
The Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality is dedicated to helping you mitigate that risk. We have developed a comprehensive program of support services to members (see the benefits of membership section on the website for complete details) that is not only value-added, but literally pays for itself – and then some! Consider the following:
- Members have consistently reported a stronger compliance posture, better survey results, fewer issues with regulatory agencies, and most importantly, an improvement in safe quality patient care.
- Members can recoup their annual fee of $1995 in direct cost savings, and save thousands of dollars in staff time and effort. Click here for details.
- Our annual member satisfaction survey consistently shows excellent results for the quality of services provided and our responsiveness to member needs.
We’d love to have you join the growing number of healthcare organizations that have found CIHQ membership an indispensable part of their accreditation and certification compliance efforts.
Sincerely,
Richard Curtis, RN, MS, HACP
Executive Director – CIHQ |
