What CIHQ Accredited Hospitals Are Saying!

They explained and provided guidance. They acknowledged the hard work that all members of the staff do. The experience was conducive to learning."

"The CIHQ surveyors followed a structured survey and assisted the organization with opportunities to improve both quality and patient safety. They also gave compliments on the processes that we did do well on. Your surveyors were great! No improvement needed. Our team leader is highly knowledgeable and was very thorough in her audits. She provided excellent recommendations when she found deficiencies. We could not have asked for a better leader. She interacted well with the staff and administrators. She provided education as well. She was professional and respectful as well. Very easy to work with. Our generalist surveyor knows her health information standards well. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She provided staff education as well as recommendations. She interacted well with the department staff and administration. Both of our surveyors were very consistent with each other in their findings I appreciate the explanation he gave for the deficiencies our life safety specialist surveyor identified. I learned a lot about the generator, load bank tests, etc., from his questions and answers."
