Det Norske Veritas Healthcare, Inc. (DNV) last week joined the ranks of the Joint Commission and American Osteopathic Organization as the only national hospital accreditation organizations approved by CMS.
DNV is the first new CMS-approved accreditation program in more than 40 years. Its method of accreditation, called the National Integrated Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations, or NIAHO(SM), combines CMS’ Conditions of Participation with the ISO 9001 quality management system.
NIAHO(SM) is designed to help healthcare organizations meet their national accreditation obligations and achieve ISO 9001 compliance in the same, seamless program, according to DNV.
So far 27 hospitals in 22 states have been accredited by DNV using the NIAHO(SM) system.
