Designed as an overview course for NIAHO requirements, ISO 9001, and process-based internal audits

DNV's Comprehensive Accreditation is designed as an overview course. It has been developed to cover multiple days of face-to-face training in 3 days. The training includes a high level review of the NIAHO® Requirements, a complete review of the ISO 9001 QMS Standards. The course ends with a strong focus on "process-based" internal audits. This course covers many aspects of the survey process and is an effective way to distinguish DNV's unique approach to Accreditation.

Who should attend:
New or existing healthcare professionals; leaders, managers and/or staff.

Course Highlights:
  • Develop foundational understanding of DNV and the Healthcare division
  • Develop foundational understanding of DNV culture and philosophy
  • Develop foundational understanding of the NIAHO
  • Develop foundational understanding of Accreditation/Survey process
  • Develop foundational understanding of ISO 9001 Quality Management System Standards
  • Understand the ISO Standards

    • Request to cancel a registration and receive a full refund, or
    • Request to transfer to a different class at no charge. 

  • 15-29 days prior to the start date of the course: 
    • Request to cancel a registration and receive a 50% refund, or

Less than 15 days prior to the start date of the course (including no-shows on the day of the course), no refunds or transfers are provided.

Substitutions (another person replacing a particular registrant in a course) are permitted at any time without additional charge.
