HCAH, India’s leading out-of-hospital care provider has announced that its Hyderabad facility has received the prestigious QAI (Quality and Accreditation Institute) accreditation for Transition Care Centres, making it the first-ever facility in India to receive this certification. HCAH receives the accreditation for maintaining the highest quality of services at its Hyderabad Transition Care Centre. The health-tech organization continues to set benchmarks in quality services with this latest accreditation adding to its already impressive track record in quality standards, as it becomes the only organization to receive two QAI accreditations and one NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) accreditation.
Such accreditations are given to healthcare organizations that set a mark of sustained quality standards for patient safety, quality of care and demonstrate their commitment to and improving patient outcomes. During the QAI accreditation process, an external assessor thoroughly evaluates and confirms it against 79 standard protocols prescribed by QAI.
The biggest beneficiary of accreditation are the patients and their families, as it ensures the best outcomes with the fastest recoveries in the most affordable manner. This stamp of quality further endorses the best clinical practices adopted by HCAH.
Commenting on this achievement, Vivek Srivastava, Co-founder and CEO, HCAH, said, “As we continue to expand our footprint nationwide, we see this as an essential step to strengthen our position and emerge as the outstanding quality healthcare provider in this segment. HCAH has been delivering excellence in out-of-hospital care for the last ten years and focuses on improving the quality of life for patients and minimising the chances of readmission. On this journey, we will continue to adhere to standardised processes and procedures to provide the highest quality of care. Further, having this accreditation will make it easier for insurance companies to fund patient expenses, thereby addressing the issue of payers.”
QAI is an institutional member of the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua) and was established to create an ecosystem of education, training, quality improvement and accreditation. Dr. Gaurav Thukral, COO, HCAH, said, “Four years ago HCAH became the first Home Healthcare company to receive QAI accreditation and now building on the legacy, HCAH’s Hyderabad TCC becomes the first to be accredited under the Indian Standards for TCC developed by QAI. These standards have been approved by the Board of QAI’s Centre for Accreditation of Health & Social Care. We are sure that this is the first of many.”
He expressed his gratitude to Dr. BK Rana, CEO, QAI for framing the TCC standards, through a competent technical committee and benchmarking it to international standards.
With this new accreditation, HCAH reaffirms its commitment to delivering the highest quality of care to patients in India.
