Healthcare professionals’ perceptions about implementing accreditation as a strategy to improve healthcare quality and organisational performance: a cross-sectional survey study

The majority of healthcare professionals view accreditation positively, seeing its potential to improve the quality of healthcare and organizational performance. However, there are nuanced variations between administrative and clinical professionals about the aims and objectives of using accreditation as a strategy for healthcare quality improvement. Future research is needed to explore the long-term impact of accreditation and the contextual factors that impact the perceptions of healthcare professionals on accreditation, particularly among different healthcare professional groups. This will help provide policy direction and improve understanding of accreditation's impact.
