Abstract

Accreditation of hospitals is an approach that is commonly utilised to enhance the quality of healthcare overall and the safety of patients. The purpose of this research is to investigate the function of certification in quality improvement by analysing its influence on clinical results, patient safety, organizational culture, and patient happiness. Literature that is currently available reveals that hospitals that have been certified exhibit a higher level of adherence to clinical recommendations, a reduction in medical mistakes, and an improvement in healthcare procedures. Additionally, accreditation helps to cultivate a culture of responsibility and ongoing education among those working in the healthcare professional field. On the other hand, there are restrictions that may be attributed to difficulties such as high expenses, administrative burdens, and variations in certification criteria. Accreditation continues to be a significant tool for improving the quality of healthcare when it is incorporated into hospital operations, despite the obstacles that have been experienced. The long-term impacts of certification and the role that digital technologies play in boosting its efficacy should be the primary subject of study that will be conducted in the future
