The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) has assessed Supercare Hospital and found that it complies with NABH Standards for Nursing Excellence.
The NABH is a quality accreditation board for hospitals in India. It is part of the Quality Council of India (QCI), a national-level body that promotes and maintains quality across various sectors in the country.
The NABH accreditation programme sets standards for healthcare facilities in India, including nursing care services, to ensure that they meet the highest quality and safety standards. These standards are based on international best practices and are designed to improve patient safety and the quality of care in hospitals. The NABH standards are currently the highest benchmark standard for hospital quality in India. If a hospital has been accredited by the NABH, it is considered to be a high-quality healthcare facility and even gets international recognition.
The certification, encompassing seven key chapters, establishes comprehensive standards for evaluating nursing services and promoting continuous quality enhancement in safe, competent and ethical care. It also helps regulate, guide and promote professional nursing practice and offers guidelines to nurse administrators and supervisors in supporting and facilitating top-tier patient care.
After a rigorous inspection process to validate 48 quality standards involving 216 different objective elements, Supercare was granted the Nursing Excellence Certification on June 13, 2023. The certification is valid for two years.
Supercare is the only hospital in the North East with NABH Accreditation for Hospitals, NABH Certification for Emergency, and NABH Nursing Excellence all together.
Founder and Managing Director, Dr RS Thangkhiew, expressed his pride in this accomplishment, saying, “This achievement stands as a testament to our hospital’s exceptional nursing staff, their skills and their contributions towards comprehensive patient well-being. It leads us onward in our pursuit towards excellence in healthcare services while strengthening our vision in setting quality standards in the northeast region.”
Chief Operating Officer Damien Marwein added, “This certification provides us with a framework we can utilise to improve our processes, refine our workflows and guide our nurses in better decision making. This was made possible with the combined effort and growth mindset of our fantastic nursing management team under the direction and devotion of our Nursing Superintendent, Mary Lyngdoh.”
