CareMed's dedication to outstanding pharmacy services is what empowers them to deliver excellence in pharmacy services and is proud to display the ACHC Certification Logo as a token of our commitment to providing the highest quality level of patient care products and services available. The Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc (ACHC) is a private, not-for-profit corporation that has set high national standards for providers to meet in effectively and efficiently delivering quality health care products and services to consumers. ACHC awards accreditation on organizations that have demonstrated through rigid analysis that their policies, procedures, practices and quality assurance programs meet the ACHC national standards. Accreditation is a voluntary method to prove our commitment to continuously meet and exceed the high standards, to show that we are in compliance with all regulatory bodies in the industry, and to provide a guarantee to any concerned party that we strive for excellence in all endeavors.
Accreditation is not easy to attain—providers must demonstrate that they meet the ACHC criteria through a rigorous review of qualifying standards & criteria, and spanning areas of business operations, such as Customer Service/Care Management, Quality Improvement, and Fiscal Management. Evidence submitted for the review includes:
|
- Documented internal policies and procedures.
- Best practices checklists.
- Reviews of training and fiscal management records.
- Quality Improvement measures and corrective actions.
- Customer satisfaction monitoring and improvement measures.
|
ACHC reviewers perform on-site visits to audit these and other performance areas to validate each standard. They further interview our staff members to discover levels of training, product knowledge and to ascertain health and safety standards. They also review customer satisfaction using a variety of methods including direct customer contact. Once they have considered the entire body of evidence, they then determine whether or not we have met the standard sufficient for accreditation.
