The 5 Most Common Reasons for Accreditation Loss & How to Avoid Them
This video explores the leading causes behind organizations losing their accreditation, based on observations by IHS consultants. We've noticed a significant rise in accredited organizations facing accreditation denials during reaccreditation or within their three-year cycle. The main reasons for accreditation loss are detailed below. To gain a deeper understanding of each reason, watch the webinar.
Data integrity lapses
Unintentional non-compliance due to process changes
Inconsistent implementation of compliance processes by staff, leading to unnoticed failures
Committee-related issues, such as inadequate frequency of meetings or unfulfilled responsibilities
Delayed reporting of significant organizational changes to URAC
Thankfully, organizations that partnered with us from the start of their accreditation journey have not encountered denial. Nonetheless, we've aided organizations that sought our assistance after receiving partial accreditation or denials, often successfully transforming denials into partial or full accreditations. We urge you to learn from the lessons shared in this video and reach out to us if your accreditation status falls short of full accreditation.
