Overview

Mission

Accreditation commission for health care (achc) is dedicated to delivering the best possible experience and to partnering with organizations and healthcare professionals that seek accreditation and related services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Accreditation and other recognitions: the organization has developed accreditation standards for a variety of health care provider settings. The organization will survey or inspect applicable agencies and organizations, on a voluntary basis, to validate adherence to these standards.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - Most voting board members are independent and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
