Accreditation Process

EHNAC site evaluators use a rating method to determine overall compliance with EHNAC criteria. Applicants in candidacy status must meet the requirements of all MANDATORY criteria and must achieve an overall score of at least 85% to achieve full accreditation (subject to commission approval). The site evaluator will assign a 1, 0.5, or 0 rating value to each activity in the criteria, based upon an applicant’s ability to demonstrate compliance.

Release Notes indicate changes in the criteria from the previous version.
