The ACHS International Recognition Program is designed for healthcare organisations just beginning their quality improvement journey and are unable to meet the requirements of the entire EQuIP standards.
To encourage organisations to commence a focus on patient safety and quality using international standards, the Recognition Program provides a modular approach to EQuIP.
This provides a foundation for organisations to explore progressing to Certification or Accreditation in the future through a more manageable approach.
