HFAP, now operating under the ACHC brand, is a healthcare accreditation organization rooted in the hospital and health care sector. Established in 1945 by the American Osteopathic Association and historically authorized by CMS, HFAP provides accreditation and certification options for hospitals, laboratories, and community-based providers, supporting organizations in achieving and maintaining recognized quality and patient-safety standards. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the organization has positioned itself within a broader network of accreditation bodies through its 2020 merger with Accreditation Commission for Health Care, offering a comprehensive suite of services across the continuum of care. The entity serves facilities seeking third-party evaluation of compliance with safety and quality requirements, aiming to address common deficiencies and improve overall operational standards. As a long-standing, nationwide accrediting entity, HFAP operates as part of ACHC, continuing to deliver standards-based oversight and recognition to diverse care settings. A recent development noted is the 2018 release of HFAP’s annual quality report, which analyzes where deficiencies most frequently occur across hospitals, laboratories, and ambulatory surgical centers.
