Quality indicators:

Why should accreditation and licensure be important to you?

Accreditation and licensure means a hospital has met or exceeded required standards of care. They have filed detailed documentation and passed difficult site visits from peer review committees or members of governing organizations. Accreditation and licensure is generally accepted as a good indication of level of care and ethical business practices.
