Board of Certification/Accreditation
The Board of Certification/Accreditation (BOC) is an organization that provides certification and accreditation for healthcare professionals and facilities. It ensures that individuals and organizations meet specific standards of practice and quality in their respective fields. This process helps maintain high levels of competency and safety in healthcare services.
Certification from the BOC is often required for professionals such as athletic trainers and medical equipment suppliers. Accreditation signifies that a facility, like a hospital or rehabilitation center, adheres to established guidelines and best practices, promoting trust and reliability in the healthcare system.
