It's no secret that the accreditation / certification process gets harder and harder each year. The scope and complexity of the regulatory environment taxes even the strongest of organizations. At the same time resources shrink and we’re asked to do more with less.

CIHQ' Accreditation Resource Services (ARS) is dedicated to helping your organization be successful in this challenging environment.

We have developed a comprehensive program of web-based, multi-media, and on-site support services to members that is not only value-added, but literally pays for itself - and then some! Consider the following:

Members have consistently reported a stronger compliance posture, better survey results, fewer issues with regulatory agencies, and most importantly, an improvement in safe quality patient care.
Members can recoup their annual fee of in direct cost savings, and save thousands of dollars in staff time and effort.
Our annual member satisfaction survey consistently shows excellent results for the quality of services provided and our responsiveness to member needs.

CIHQ-ARS has become the consulting organization of choice for hundreds of hospitals and other healthcare entities across the United States. Whether you are certified directly by CMS or deemed by an accrediting organization, CIHQ-ARS can provide the support services you need in a cost effective and value-added way.
