The Application Overview
The application process consists of a review of the application by the Commission staff and the RN Field Nurse Surveyor, interviews with selected agency personnel, and a comprehensive on-site survey. After the survey, a report is presented to our Director of Accreditation who awards accreditation. Accreditation approval is granted for one year. Continued accreditation is contingent on ongoing compliance with the Accreditation Standards. Accredited agencies are monitored annually to assess compliance. To properly prepare the application, you will need to thoroughly review your policies and operations to ensure that they adhere to CAHC Standards.
