Make the smart, modern choice.

I AM:

The new standard – without the old baggage.

ACHC is not just another option — we are THE Accreditation Commission for Health Care. Built on a foundation of CMS-aligned standards, ACHC offers a smart, streamlined, and credible path to accreditation. While others rebrand or remove excess, ACHC stands firm in having never added unnecessary burden in the first place.

We are proud to be the standard-bearer for modern, meaningful accreditation. Our integrity, alignment, and relentless focus on what truly matters — health care organizations and the communities they serve — begins and ends with a commitment to quality, clarity, and consistency. Our message is simple: ACHC is here to help your organization thrive through genuine partnership and support.

Welcome

ACHC is changing accreditation — it’s the smart, modern choice. In an industry dominated by outdated models and slow-moving giants, ACHC offers a confident, CMS-aligned, and forward-looking approach that resonates with today’s healthcare organizations.
We are the new standard.

Today’s healthcare leaders need an accreditor who offers agility, clarity, and true partnership. While others realign and retrain, ACHC has already delivered a clean, simple, cost-effective accreditation model: CMS-aligned standards, streamlined support, and innovative tools that respect your team’s time and elevate your patient care.

Modern accreditation isn’t about looking back. It’s about moving forward.
