ACCREDITATION
UNIVERSITY
ACHC’s commitment to providers is to offer exceptional educational resources that
prepare healthcare organizations to achieve and maintain accreditation. Introduced
this year, the ACHC Accreditation University allows providers to choose from a range
of educational resources including service-specific workshops, workbooks, audit
tools, and compliance checklists. The workshops are designed to prepare healthcare
organizations for the initial or renewal accreditation process. ACHC’s educational
resources are written by Clinical Compliance Educators who have extensive
experience in their respective fields.
ACCREDITATION GUIDE TO SUCCESS
Let ACHC help you through the accreditation process with an ACHC Accreditation Guide to Success workbook. Each workbook
is a program-specific, comprehensive tool that offers guidance on the meanings and requirements of each ACHC standard.
The workbooks were developed by knowledgeable program experts and Surveyors to assist organizations in preparing for a
successful survey experience. Specifically designed to help providers develop more efficient policies and procedures, these
workbooks include compliance hints, sample audit tools, sample Surveyor questions, and suggestions for best practices. There
are also self tests and checklists to help ensure a successful on-site survey experience.
The workbooks, available for Home Health, Private Duty, Hospice, DMEPOS and Pharmacy, each contain the
following information:

clients to more fully understand the
standards and assess if their policies and
procedures and patient care practices
meet the standards. The Corridor Group
is proud of our relationship with ACHC by
offering the ACHC Accreditation Guide
to Success workbooks on our web store.”
