The application process typically involves several steps:
Pre-Assessment: Facilities conduct an internal review to ensure they meet the necessary standards. Submission: Facilities submit a formal application along with required documentation. On-Site Survey: Accrediting bodies conduct on-site evaluations to verify compliance. Feedback and Improvement: Facilities receive feedback and may need to make improvements before accreditation is granted. Final Decision: The accrediting body makes a final decision and awards accreditation if standards are met.
