DNV GL Accreditation

​The DNV GL NIAHO (National Integration for Healthcare Organizations) accreditation program is more than just about meeting CMS requirements; it is also about total quality management. It provides quality controls and quality assurance while incorporating risk. We can provide consulting services to help you with:
  • Transitioning your hospital to the 9001:2015 standard using a timeline and Gantt chart
  • Establishing your quality management system (QMS) if you are struggling where to begin
  • Using your DNV GL NIAHO accreditation program as a high-reliability framework
  • Improving/Establishing your audit program
  • How to apply risk-based thinking based on ISO 9001:2015 requirements
  • Document review/creation
  • Post survey corrective 

Risk 

Having  an effective Enterprise  Risk Management (ERM) program that incorporates:
  • Patient Safety
  • Quality
  • Traditional Risk Management
is essential for every hospital on the high-reliability and high-value patient care journey. 

​We can help you identify risks by using the Governance, Risk. and Compliance (GRC) model. Each of these three disciplines creates information of value to the other two. All three impact the same technologies, people, processes, and information.  

We utilize a number of different Risk frameworks that we are certified  to, including :COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations) and  ISO 31000 Risk Management - Principles and Guidelines.  Finally, Cybersecurity should be considered when designing your ERM plan.

By using the GRC model, your hospital will benefit by aligning your patient safety, quality, and traditional risk management objectives with your strategic plan. 

We can provide you with risk advising services as well as internal risk courses to help you on your mission to achieving your vision. 

Reusable Medical Equipment 

We have extensive experience implementing a quality management system (QMS) using ISO 9001  to manage the applicable sterile and high-level disinfection (HLD) processing standards such as:
  • Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI)
  • Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN)
  • ISO/IEC 17025
In the Veteran's Administration, we applied a QMS to all processes related to the reprocessing of Reusable Medical Equipment (RME) in 130+ hospitals.
​
​Considering  the on-going investigation by the FDA concerning reprocessed duodenoscopes, having a risk assessment performed on your hospital's sterilization /HLD processes may benefit you and your community.    

If you have concerns about the amount of quality control / quality assurance with your Sterile Processing/HLD, call and chat with us. ​
