The proposed model discovers a fourth implicit relationship, a feedback between quality performance reporting components and choice of accreditation components that is likely to play an important role in health care outcomes.
The study objective is to understand and utilise the potential for feedback between quality performance reporting components and choice of accreditation components through the activities of surveyors within the health administration system.
In summary, the systems modelling and evaluation uncovered an implicit relationship conveyed through surveyors within the health administration system, which can provide feedback between quality performance reporting components and choice of accreditation components.
This study also addresses an important research question in terms of identifying and assessing the components of hospital accreditation and quantifying their inter-related benefits.
In addition, the study makes recommendations on the fundamental components of an accreditation program required to mitigate this effect and sustain improvement.
Studies of the component parts of accreditation schemes are needed.
Since 2001, the program has been a mandatory component of hospital accreditation, and the number of accredited hospitals increased from 58 in 2002 to 94 in 2007 [24].
4. NSI will approve the on-going component of Registrar accreditation fees, as provided in Section II.L.2 of the Accreditation Agreement, if its portion thereof does not exceed $2,000,000 annually.
2. Registrar shall pay the on-going component of Registrar accreditation fees adopted by ICANN in accordance with the provisions of Section II.C above, provided such fees are reasonably allocated among all registrars that contract with ICANN and that any such fees must be expressly approved by registrars accounting, in aggregate, for payment of two-thirds of all registrar-level fees.
