NABH 5th Edition · Compliance Software

NABH compliance software that keeps you assessment-ready every day.

Acredify turns NABH 5th Edition accreditation from a three-month scramble into a live, daily readiness score. Every standard mapped, every piece of evidence timestamped, every CAPA tracked to closure — so the assessor visit is a review, not a rebuild. Built for Indian hospitals, hosted in India, live in three days.

Why NABH accreditation feels like a crisis every cycle

Most Indian hospitals don't fail NABH because their teams lack knowledge. They struggle because accreditation is run as a periodic event instead of a continuous process. Evidence lives across shared drives, ward registers, email threads and WhatsApp groups. Three months before the assessment, the Quality Manager begins the annual archaeology — chasing departments for documents, reconstructing committee minutes, and re-assembling chapter evidence that should have been accumulating all along.

The 5th Edition raised the bar specifically here. Assessors now scrutinise quality-indicator tracking, the credibility of committee records, and whether corrective actions actually close. A binder assembled the week before the visit doesn't survive that scrutiny — creation timestamps give it away, and the same findings that were 'closed' last cycle quietly reappear.

The result is predictable: a capable quality team burns out on coordination, leadership has no real visibility until the eleventh hour, and the hospital pays a consultant a large fee to patch the gaps just in time — only to repeat the whole exercise three years later.

  • Evidence scattered across drives, registers, email and WhatsApp — no single source of truth
  • Committee minutes written just before assessment and flagged on timestamp checks
  • Corrective actions tracked in spreadsheets that no one updates between audits
  • No live view of readiness — leadership learns about gaps in the final week
  • The same recurring findings cycle after cycle, because nothing closes permanently

The cost of treating NABH as a once-in-three-years event

When accreditation is a deadline instead of a daily state, the costs compound quietly — in money, in staff time, and in risk to the accreditation itself. These are the patterns we hear from quality teams across India:

₹2–5L
Typical consultant spend per accreditation cycle to patch gaps just in time
~3 months
Of Quality Manager and HOD time consumed rebuilding evidence each cycle
Repeat findings
The same non-conformities recur because corrective actions never truly close

Stop carrying this risk between audits.

How Acredify makes NABH a daily state, not a deadline

Acredify maps your hospital to the full set of NABH 5th Edition standards and turns every routine action — a committee meeting, a CAPA closure, a document upload — into evidence that updates a live readiness score. Your quality team stops coordinating and starts verifying.

Live 0–100 readiness score

A single, always-current score across every NABH chapter. Leadership sees exactly where the hospital stands without asking the QM.

Chapter-wise evidence mapping

Every standard mapped to its evidence. Gaps are surfaced continuously, not discovered in the final week before assessment.

Timestamped committee records

Minutes captured and timestamped at the meeting, with quorum proof — so assessors can't question when they were written.

CAPA tracking to closure

Corrective actions auto-escalate to the HOD at 48 hours and are tracked to verified closure, so findings don't recur next cycle.

3-day assessor pack

Generate a complete, chapter-organised evidence pack in days, not months — assembled from evidence that accumulated all year.

Expiry radar

Fire NOC, licences and certifications are monitored with a 90/30/7-day alert cascade, so nothing lapses during an assessment.

Excel and binders vs. Acredify

Most hospitals run NABH on spreadsheets, shared folders and a pre-assessment binder. Here is why that approach breaks down under 5th Edition scrutiny — and what changes when readiness is a live system.

What hospitals get back

The return on a NABH compliance system isn't abstract. It shows up as reclaimed staff time, replaced consultant spend, and an accreditation you can defend on any day of the year.

Months → days
Assessment prep compresses from a multi-month rebuild to a short review
Verifier, not chaser
Your QM stops chasing owners and starts verifying a system that's already done the work
Always defensible
A readiness score and evidence trail you can stand behind on any day, not just assessment week

Frequently asked questions

Does Acredify support NABH 5th Edition specifically?+

Yes. Acredify is built around NABH 5th Edition standards and chapters from the ground up — it is not a foreign quality tool retrofitted for India. Standards are mapped to evidence, and your readiness score reflects the current edition's requirements, including quality-indicator tracking.

Do we need to replace our HMS or involve IT?+

No. Acredify operates entirely in the compliance layer and never touches your HMS, billing, or clinical systems. There is no integration to build and no IT project to run — your Quality Manager sets it up in about three hours on a guided call.

How quickly can we see a NABH readiness score?+

Your first live readiness score is typically available within the first week. Go-live takes about three days: hospital profile and chapter mapping, evidence import, and your first score.

Can it replace our NABH consultant?+

You can keep your consultant for the first cycle and let the engagement go at renewal once Acredify is keeping you continuously ready. A NABH consultant cycle typically costs ₹2–5L — that recurring spend is the cost Acredify is designed to replace.

Where is our data stored?+

100% in India. Your compliance data never leaves Indian servers, the platform is DPDP Act 2023 compliant by design, and a Data Processing Agreement is signed before your pilot begins. Acredify has zero access to patient records.

What does the pilot cost?+

The 90-day founding pilot is ₹0 — no credit card, no contract. After the pilot, continued access starts at ₹1.8L/year for up to 100 beds. You can export all your data and exit at any time.
