Hospital Orientation Program (HOP)
HOP is a special program devised for orientation of the healthcare facilities that have recently been exposed to healthcare accreditation and are planning for surveys of their facilities.
CBAHI provides ongoing HOPs at different locations throughout the year. Hospitals are highly encouraged to attend at one of HOPs offered by CBAHI, free of charge. Although any hospital can attend, the priority goes for hospitals selected for the current year accreditation program. During these orientation sessions, standards, accreditation policies, and survey process are all explained in detail. This is a good opportunity for the hospital representatives to enquire about the intent of a standard and how it will be implemented. Dates and venues of the orientation programs will be communicated to the hospitals in a timely manner.
