Is the hospital you visit is NABH accredited?
There are many hospitals in India that offer a multitude of medical services varying with price as well as quality of service. Generally, in most of the scenarios it is witnessed that in a medical emergency, the nearest hospital is chosen. This actually leads to the argument of possibility of choosing against no options available.
However, when there is time to choose, how should one choose exactly?
More important than the infrastructure, it is essential to know if the hospital has a documented process for its healthcare activities. Patient care not only involves the core clinical care, but also activities like requisition of tests, medicines, nurse-doctor coordination and many other topics around it.
So how will the patient know about these processes? He is not expected to inquire with the hospital whether they have these processes laid down. And how many processes could he check even if allowed to?
Accreditation is the key
Organizations like the Quality Council of India [QCI] and its National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers [NABH] have designed an exhaustive healthcare standard (stringent of 500 plus) for hospitals and healthcare providers. To comply with these standard elements, the hospital need to have a process-driven approach in all aspects of hospital activities – from registration, admission, pre-surgery, peri-surgery and post-surgery protocols, discharge from the hospital to follow-up with the hospital after discharge.
NABH accreditation criteria
To give an idea what NABH standard comprises of, some of the 500-plus objective elements are listed here. The requirements have been grouped for easy understanding.
Information to patients:
The patients and/or family members are explained about the proposed care, expected results, the possible complications, the expected costs.
Rights of the patient and family:
Right to refusal of treatment, Information on how to voice a complaint, access to his / her clinical records.
Quality in investigations:
Adequately qualified and trained personnel’s perform the lab investigation, laboratory and imaging results are available within a defined time frame. Critical results are intimated immediately to the concerned personnel.
Infection control : -
The hospital has an infection control team, designated and qualified infection control nurse[s] for this activity. Adequate gloves, masks, soaps, and disinfectants are available and used correctly.
Q. How NABH accreditation helps patients
In an NABH accredited hospital, there is a strong focus on the following:
•Patient rights and benefits
•Patient safety
•Control and prevention of infections
•Practicing good patient-care protocols e.g. special care for vulnerable groups, critically ill patients
•Better and controlled clinical outcome.
NABH now is a member of the International Society for Quality in Health Care and thus NABH standard is at the threshold of being recognized globally. So, if a hospital is NABH accredited, the patient can rest assured that the hospital follows stringent standards as laid down by the accreditation body for providing best in patient care comparable to any international hospital of repute.
