DNV (Det Norske Veritas) Hospital Accreditation

DNV (Det Norske Veritas) was established in 1864 and is an independent foundation with a purpose to safeguard life, property and the environment. Increasing patient safety and reducing errors in healthcare is an important part of that purpose.

DNV healthcare offers a hospital accreditation program approved by the US Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services.

DNV is the first and only CMS approved accreditation service that surveys annually and integrates ISO 9001 quality methods with Medicare Conditions of Participation.

DNV employs a highly collaborative survey process that encourages innovation and does not force hospitals to accept a generic template for patient safety goals. It helps the hospital find its highest levels of performance.

DNV's underlying NIAHO standards are tightly coupled to the Medicare Conditions of Participation.

NIAHO compresses the survey cycle from every three years to annually, thereby ensuring continual quality improvement.

DNV has already accredited 27 hospitals in 22 states in the US participating in the NIAHO program.

On 27 July, 2007, DNV acquired TUV Healthcare Specialists which was actively developing NIAHO. DNV’s experience in hospital evaluations and rating spans the globe. DNV has been awarded by UK’s NHSLA (National Health services Litigation Authority) a five year programme to evaluate and rate the hundreds of hospitals it controls in England.

Furthermore, DNV has issued 1,200 ISO certificates to healthcare facilities worldwide, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, diagnostic centres, laboratories, nursing homes and homecare centres.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
