Monthly Briefing September 2025
The National Board has, in recent weeks, successfully completed its hyperbaric facility accreditation program beta testing. Turnaround time from completion of the onsite portion of the survey process, accreditation committee data review and recommendation to the Board, and Board members voting on that recommendation was achieved within the 15-business days beta survey target. The National Board is now ready to act on accreditation requests. Please refer to the Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation Manual and separate application form, linked below, for application guidance.
It is not uncommon for hospital leadership to require formal submission to justify such things as clinical service line Accreditation and/or Certification. Example ‘business case” questions are how accreditation will improve the hospital’s mission, vision and values, what benefit will be obtained that isn’t currently available with existing data resources, why improvements cannot be obtained without accreditation, expected return on investment, what alternatives to accreditation exist, and is accreditation a government requirement or necessary for third-party reimbursement? If you have any difficulties navigating through this process or otherwise articulating compelling responses, please contact the National Board and we would be pleased to assist.
Should you have any related questions, or additional information needs, please email National Board headquarters at nbdhmt@aol.com.
“Thank you much! We are truly honored to receive this accreditation.” C.L. 08/21/2025
