REAFFIRMATION & MAINTENANCE<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This page serves as a comprehensive hub for program directors, students, and the public to navigate our accreditation landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Accreditation is not a one-time event but a continuous process of quality monitoring and improvement. To ensure that Health Services Management programs consistently meet national Standards, CAHSM requires both annual reporting and periodic comprehensive reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Annual Maintenance: <\/strong>
The Annual Program Assessment Report (APAR)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The primary tool for maintaining accreditation status is the Annual Program Assessment Report (APAR). This mandatory reporting process allows CAHSM to routinely monitor program performance, student outcomes, and significant changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporting Schedule: <\/strong>The APAR system opens annually. It collects data from the previous reporting cycle to allow programs sufficient time for data collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliance Requirements<\/strong>: All accredited programs in good standing must submit an APAR by the established deadline to maintain their status. Failure to submit required reports by the determined date may result in Administrative Probationary Accreditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborative Oversight and Program Support<\/strong>: As part of our commitment to educational excellence and the public interest, CAHSM utilizes data from the Annual Program Assessment Report (APAR) to monitor the health and effectiveness of accredited programs. This data-driven oversight allows us to proactively identify potential risks to a program\u2019s stability or student outcomes. When a program is identified as needing additional support, CAHSM initiates a collaborative outreach process, providing targeted resources and expert assistance to help the program maintain alignment with our accreditation standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As part of maintenance, programs must post at least three (3)<\/strong> program outcomes on their website landing page and update them annually according to the institution’s reporting period (e.g., August 1 \u2013 July 31).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
