Accreditation Services
The IHS Process Flow
Accreditation services honed over two decades to make your life easier.
At IHS, we have taken our vast experience as accreditation reviewers, wedded that with two decades of working with applicants for accreditation, and created a soup-to-nuts array of services designed to get you through every phase of accreditation. We’ve done this by listening to our clients when they tell us what they need and customizing our services to meet those needs.
Gap Analysis
In this phase of the process, our specialists sit down with your team to explain every single standard and what the accreditors requirements for that standard are. They assemble their findings into a comprehensive report that will serve as your roadmap throughout the document-preparation process.
Mock Desktop
Review
Our experts will examine all your documents to assess their compliance with the accreditors’ expectations. They will provide you with actionable feedback to help you get those documents into shape for submission to the accreditors.
Responding to Accreditors’
Request for Information
When the accreditors respond to your documentary submission, we’ll analyze that response and advise you on how to meet the reviewers’ remaining needs.
Mock Validation Review
Our team will conduct a comprehensive mock validation review — virtual and onsite, as appropriate — to ensure your implementation of your policies. Our mock audit will fully prepare your team for the accreditors’ final validation review.
FULL ACCREDITATION!
At the end of this process, your team will have reason to celebrate. While there are no guarantees of success, our tried-and-true approach, when fully implemented, has taken our clients to the promised land of accredited status!
