Expert Answer
Using the same health care organization from the last assignment which is One Indian Healthcare Organization, write a 750-1,000 word analysis of licensing and accreditation governing the organization to assess the impact in the organization’s function and operations. Include the following:
Accreditation
1. Identify two types of accreditation governing the organization, or a branch of the organization.
Standards and developed certification or accreditation mechanisms to evaluate compliance by other organizations with the standards.
2. Identify whether or not the accreditation is mandatory. Explain the purpose for the accreditation and how it supports the organization.
Accreditation is usually a voluntary program. The purpose of the accreditation is to monitor the organizations to carry out their work as strictly as per laid down guidelines to achieve their stated objectives.
3. Discuss why this accreditation is important to the patient, to the organization, to the community, and to health care.
Accreditation denotes both a status and process. As a status it denotes conformity to a specific standard as set forth by an accrediting agency and as a process it shows a commitment to continuous improvement. Accreditation means that the certification body meets the requirements of a national or an international standard as assessed by an accrediting agency.
4. Identify accreditation requirements for the organization, and resources needed to maintain accreditation.
Accreditation means that the certification body meets the requirements of a national or an international standard as assessed by an accrediting agency.
5. Describe the consequences for the organization if they were to lose the accreditation.
There organization may lose its name and the accreditation body may blacklist it which may also result in closing of its activities.
6. Evaluate which type of accreditation and licensures your health care organization requires.
Licensure is conferred by a governmental entity or its designated agent, such as a licensing or regulatory board (e.g., a state, provincial, or national medical or nursing board), and addresses the minimal legal requirements for a health care organization or
practitioner to operate, care for patients, or function. The accreditation approaches are based on optimal and achievable standards or a demonstration of special knowledge or capability
Licensure
1. Identify two types of licensing the organization has received.
This is not clear from the problem. However, the licensure standards in a particular jurisdiction might require that a health care facility provide certain services (e.g.,surgery, radiology testing, round-the-clock nursing care for patients, pharmacy services, and laboratory services) in order to be classified as a hospital.
2. Identify whether or not the licensure is mandatory. Explain the purpose for the licensure.
For healthcare organizations the licensure is mandatory. The purpose of licensure requirements is to protect basic public health and safety
3. Discuss why this licensure is important to the patient, to the organization, to the community, and to health care.
Licensure standards are intended to define the quality level that is necessary in order for patient care or health services (e.g., drug dispensing by a pharmacy) to be safely delivered. These standards also define the capabilities that are needed in order for a health care organization to advertise to the public that it is a hospital or health center.
4. Identify licensure requirements for the organization, and resources needed to maintain licensure.
Implementing one or more external quality evaluation mechanisms on a national or regional basis requires significant planning, stakeholder support, resource allocation, infrastructure and legal support, and ongoing measurement of its effectiveness. Careful analysis of existing quality evaluation models and systems, both internally in a country and in comparison with “best practices” elsewhere, along with a planned and thoughtful implementation strategy.
- Describe the consequences for the organization if they were to lose the licensure.
There organization may lose its name and the accreditation body may blacklist it which may also result in closing of its activities.
6. Evaluate the consequences associated with both the accreditation process and licensing.
Licensure is mandatory and conferred by a governmental entity or its designated agent, such as a licensing or regulatory board (e.g., a state, provincial, or national medical or nursing board), and addresses the minimal legal requirements for a health care organization or practitioner to operate, care for patients, or function while accreditation or certification approaches that are based on optimal and achievable standards or a demonstration of special knowledge or capability, the purpose of licensure requirements is to protect basic public health an
