DNV GL HEALTHCARE USA, INC. Information

DNV GL - Healthcare is also a CMS-authorized accrediting organization for acute care hospitals, and in total accredits more than than 400 hospitals. The DNV GL accreditation program, for both acute care and critical access hospitals, is the first and only program to integrate the Medicare Conditions of Participation with the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. As a result, hospitals see a transformation in their entire approach to quality and patient safety, and often report a complete change in the culture of their organizations. Critical access hospitals are generally small, rural hospitals with no more than 25 in-patient beds.
