The Accreditation Association for Hospitals/Health Systems Inc. (AAHHS) is offering a nationally recognized, comprehensive accreditation program customized for rural hospitals, critical access hospitals and small hospitals with less than 200 beds, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
High quality small rural hospitals often aren’t meeting some accreditation expectations because the requirements aren’t relevant to smaller-scale healthcare facilities, the article said.
AAHHS physical environment specialist Doug Danenberger said that one of the biggest disconnects between smaller hospitals and their larger counterparts is the necessity for individuals to wear multiple hats.
