NABH runs a dedicated accreditation program for dialysis centers under ISQua-recognized standards. Accreditation is voluntary, valid for a defined cycle with surveillance, and signals quality to patients and insurers.
NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) accredits dialysis centres under a dedicated program. Accreditation assesses a facility against published standards covering patient care, infection control, documentation, staffing, and quality systems.
NABH is recognized by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), and its accreditation cycles are time-bound with periodic surveillance reviews.
NABH publishes a structured process for applicants — from application and self-assessment through documentation review, on-site assessment, and the accreditation committee decision. Certification is issued for a defined validity period, with surveillance assessments to maintain it.
The exact steps, timelines, and fees are published by NABH — reference the official website for the current process rather than relying on third-party summaries.
Accredited centers are easier to empanel with insurers and government schemes, and accreditation is frequently cited by patients choosing between centers. It also drives operational discipline — documented SOPs, infection control, and quality measurement.
Insurance companies and schemes like PM-JAY factor accreditation into empanelment in practice, though criteria evolve — check current empanelment requirements directly.
Build the documentation system (policies, SOPs, logs), infection-control practices, and staff training records from the first patient session. Retrospective compliance is far costlier than designing for accreditation from the start.
Purpose-built dialysis software (e.g., ZuvFlo) can structure session records, machine logs, and quality documentation in NABH-ready formats.
