Welcome to the CIHQ Hospital Accreditation Division
The Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) is the nation's newest accreditation provider approved by CMS to deem acute care hospitals as meeting Medicare Conditions of Participation.
Our program strives to ensure that patients receive care in organizations that exceed minimum standards set forth by the federal government.
We are committed to helping hospitals improve the quality of care rendered in their community by providing the tools and support they need in a collegial, respectful, educational, and cost-effective manner.
CIHQ congratulates Altus Lumberton Hospital
on achieving accreditation!
"The CIHQ team from the first introductory phone call until the exit interview was professional, understanding and helpful. As a micro-hospital, our resources are limited. CIHQ team took the time to explain processes and guide us through the accreditation pathway. After the detailed unannounced inspection, we knew that CIHQ’s accreditation seal confirms to our staff and community that we provide exceptional quality of care!"
