The NABH Hospital Accreditation Standards 6th Edition became effective on 1 January 2025. This guide explains how hospital leaders can organise the ten connected chapters into a practical programme of responsibility, evidence, training, measurement, internal audit, mock assessment and nonconformity closure without reproducing the standards.
The AAC chapter connects a patient's first contact with the hospital to assessment, reassessment, referral, transfer and discharge. Effective implementation requires a service scope that staff understand, defined clinical ownership at every transition, reliable handovers and records that show how decisions were made. It is a patient-flow system, not an admission-desk documentation exercise.
The COP chapter is where hospital policies must become dependable clinical practice. It covers the way multidisciplinary teams plan, deliver, monitor and review patient care across routine, emergency, procedural and high-risk settings. A strong COP system can be followed at the bedside, reconstructed from records and improved through case review and clinical audit.
