DNV-GL Healthcare was approved by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a deemed-status accreditation program for hospitals in the fall of 2008, after working through a strict application process to meet CMS’ evaluation criteria.

DNV-GL’s accreditation program follows the National Integrated Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations (NIAHO) standards which are based on the CMS Conditions of Participation and the ISO 9001 standard, the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems that is used to measure quality and accountability in dozens of industries.
