What Makes ASF Different
- Standards always free — complete, with guidance and assessor notes, no account required
- Assessment in the national language of the facility’s clinical practice
- Local regulation first — national law governs when more demanding than ASF
- Three-layer cost published — not just the registration fee, the full picture
- Independent ADC — external majority, two-thirds to deny, permanent structural separation
Quality improvement that reaches the bedside.
The Evidence Behind the Model
A 2026 peer-reviewed study in the Georgian Medical Journal (whose editor-in-chief is ASF’s founder, disclosed here for transparency) documented the structural barriers — pricing, language, regulatory misalignment — that exclude most of the world’s health facilities from international accreditation. ASF is built as a direct, evidence-based response.
