The NABH is a quality accreditation board for hospitals in India. It is part of the Quality Council of India (QCI), a national-level body that promotes and maintains quality across various sectors in the country.
The NABH accreditation program sets standards for healthcare facilities in India, including nursing care services, to ensure that they meet the highest quality and safety standards. These standards are based on international best practices and are designed to improve patient safety and the quality of care in hospitals. The NABH standards are currently the highest benchmark standard for hospital quality in India. If a hospital has been accredited by the NABH, it is considered to be a high-quality healthcare facility and even gets international recognition.
The NABH nursing excellence standards set by the NABH establish comprehensive guidelines for assessing the nursing services offered by healthcare organizations. The certification, encompassing 7 key chapters, establishes comprehensive standards for evaluating nursing services and promoting continuous quality enhancement in safe, competent, and ethical care. It also helps regulate, guide, and promote professional nursing practice and offers guidelines to nurse administrators and supervisors in supporting and facilitating top-tier patient care.
