The Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) is a national organization that evaluates and accredits healthcare facilities in the United States. It ensures that these facilities meet specific standards of quality and safety, which helps improve patient care. Accreditation by HFAP is recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), allowing facilities to receive federal funding. HFAP conducts regular surveys and assessments to verify compliance with established standards. These standards cover various aspects of healthcare, including patient rights, infection control, and staff qualifications. By achieving HFAP accreditation, facilities demonstrate their commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services to their communities.
