"We are thrilled to achieve our accreditation — a lot of hard work and commitment from our staff and physicians to complete this undertaking. I have been through surveys with the Joint Commission, as well as DNV. It is the third facility opening I have participated in and the most responsibility I have carried. CIHQ is an excellent way for smaller facilities to achieve accreditation. I feel the level of knowledge that our survey team brought was second to none. They answered every question we had. The survey is straightforward from start to finish. Their patience and openness made a stressful event into something that was fun and imparted learning to our team. Obtaining our CIHQ Accreditation reflects our dedication to a higher level of performance and patient care, not just to us, our team, but to our community in which we serve."

"Prior to survey, CIHQ provided Cobalt El Paso with the survey agenda and activity guide which details all needed documents at the time of their visit. This helped us to be fully prepared for the survey and provided our surveyors with the ability to perform a seamless and thorough document review. Our surveyors were very courteous and considerate. They informed us of any deficiencies throughout the survey and what we needed to do to correct the deficiency. They provided excellent education that was relative to the standards. The whole survey process was enjoyable. Cobalt and Curahealth are pleased to be a partner with CIHQ for our accreditation process."
