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 Sayre Community Hospital
on achieving accreditation!
"Our experience with CIHQ for initial accreditation was unparalleled. While others’ survey processes can seem counter-intuitive, CIHQ’s goal for the survey matched our facility’s: to ensure we provide safe, excellent care to our patients. We are very thankful for their kindness, professionalism, and prompt responses throughout the process!."
