NABH Accreditation
National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers
NABH accreditation shows that a hospital or healthcare provider meets national standards for patient safety and quality of care. Certsure helps hospitals, nursing homes and clinics in Lucknow and across Uttar Pradesh prepare for NABH assessment.
How Certsure helps with NABH
Certsure Certification is a consultancy based in Lucknow, working with organisations across India. We help you understand the requirements, close the gaps and get ready for assessment — gap analysis, documentation, implementation support, training, internal audits and support during the external audit. The certificate, licence, registration or report itself is granted by the relevant authority, accreditation board or independent auditor.
Who this is for
- Multi-speciality and single-speciality hospitals and nursing homes
- Small healthcare organisations, day-care centres and clinics
- Hospitals preparing for empanelment with insurers and government health schemes
- Hospitals that also want their laboratory accredited — see NABL for medical laboratories
What NABH assessors look at
NABH standards cover the whole patient journey and the systems behind it, including access and continuity of care, assessment and care of patients, medication management, patient rights and education, hospital infection control, patient safety and quality improvement, responsibilities of management, facility management and safety, human resource management, and information management.
