Abstract

Background: HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION is a systematic external EVALUATION of a HOSPITAL’ sstructures, processes and results by an independent professional ACCREDITATION body usingpre-established optimum standards. This study aimed to evaluate the HOSPITAL ACCREDITATIONsystem. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out between November2015 and February 2016 using a questionnaire covering ACCREDITATION standards, methods, surveyors, implementation and effects. The study population consisted of 161 HOSPITALmanagers in Tehran province, IRAN. Overall 87 HOSPITAL managers were surveyedthrough stratified random sampling. Results: The mean score of managers’ satisfaction of HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION system was2. 93 out of 5 score. About 16 percent of managers were satisfied with the HOSPITAL ACCREDITATIONsystem. HOSPITAL managers were most satisfied with ACCREDITATION effects(3. 14) and least satisfied with ACCREDITATION standards (2. 54). HOSPITAL managers weresatisfied with surveyors’ attitude, number of survey days and the number of surveyorsin the ACCREDITATION team. They were least satisfied with the lack of consistency amongsurveyors, lack of transparency of standards, too many standards and low competencyof surveyors. HOSPITAL managers mostly believed that ACCREDITATION should be done byMinistry of Health, compulsory, and every two years. About 97 percent of managersagreed that self-assessment is necessary and beneficial prior to the ACCREDITATION survey. Conclusion: ACCREDITATION was moderately successful in Tehran HOSPITALs. ACCREDITATIONhad the most effect on improving patient safety and meeting patients' rights andleast effect on improving employees' job satisfaction and involving doctors in qualityimprovement. Strengthening IRAN HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION system, training managers andemployees on implementing standards, and providing necessary resources make it possibleto achieve ACCREDITATION goals.
