What constitutes the duality of required hospital certifications mentioned in the synthesis?

Securing organizational accreditations (TJC/DNV) and ensuring the workforce holds current, supporting professional credentials (BLS/CPHQ)

The ongoing mandate for high-quality hospital operations rests on a duality of required validations. The first element is maintaining the overarching organizational accreditations granted by external bodies such as TJC or DNV, which validate the facility’s structural and broad operational integrity. The second, equally crucial element is ensuring that the workforce maintains current and relevant professional credentials—ranging from fundamental competencies like BLS to advanced expertise like CPHQ—which serve as the supporting evidence that underpins the detailed performance metrics required by those main accreditations. The true strength of the hospital relies on both the certificate on the wall and the currency of every supporting staff credential.
