Problem: Provide a brief explanation of the accrediting or regulatory body you found in week 7;
What area of health care does the agency work in, what are their primary aims and what is its brief history? Who accredits the accreditors?
Just think about that one for a moment. Mostly it is the government (state and federal) but are there other quasi-governmental agencies or groups?
What is the value of regulation and accreditation? Does regulation help or hinder efficiency? Quality? "Set out to right the world's wrongs and you will inevitably add to them.
The world is often too complicated for the rules we need to keep it ordered" Accreditation Commission for Heath care (ACHC) is selected.
