The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) just released information about the benefits of telehealth accreditation to assist organizations as they prepare to pursue accreditation. The benefits that HHS says accreditation can offer include:
- Quality assurance
- Process improvement
- Performance measures
- Regulatory compliance
- Risk mitigation
According to HHS, accreditation helps promote credibility and trust for telehealth services in the eyes of patients, providers and payers. Accreditation demonstrates that a telehealth program has achieved a set of standards in the delivery of virtual care and is committed to continuous improvement.
