certified accreditation professionals (cap)
I’m a nerd because I’ve climbed the ladder to oversee our organizational compliance. About 15 years ago, I took a leader-personality test and the results said I was “too compliant.” That’s when I said, “Then I’m in the right role!”
Organization-based nerds can earn the CAP credential. It means you have participated in a rigorous training program and passed an exam demonstrating your knowledge of ACHC’s process and standards. As a professional credential, it speaks to your pride in the ability to guide your organization to a successful survey outcome and to your ability to promote a culture of excellence within your organization.

I’m a nerd because I find it incredibly rewarding to watch a customer shift from “where do we even begin?” to “we’re ready!” Accreditation might not be everyone’s passion, but helping providers feel confident, supported, and prepared? That’s absolutely mine.
organizations hope to streamline compliance efforts by purchasing vendor resources like Policy and Procedure sets, QAPI Programs, Emergency Preparedness Programs, Admission Packets, and more. However, it remains the responsibility of the organization seeking accreditation to ensure that these products fulfill ACHC requirements. By achieving ACHCU Product Certification, vendors can demonstrate their understanding of the requirements and validate their product’s compliance.
ACHCU enhances educational offerings, embraces collaboration with experts, asks for feedback, and acts for improvement with webinars, master classes, workshops, workbooks, tools, and certification offerings.
