Accreditation doesn’t end when the surveyors leave.
Most international bodies hand over a report. ASF builds a permanent support structure inside your country — local advisers, monthly visits, staff training, patient councils, evidence systems — so your facility stays standards-ready every month, not just at survey time.
Not remote. Not occasional. Embedded.
Traditional international accreditation bodies assess your facility once every few years, issue a report, and leave. Between surveys, hospitals in countries with limited health infrastructure are largely on their own — managing documentation, running patient councils, and preparing evidence without structured support. That is where quality improvements stall and where accreditation becomes a trophy rather than a standard.
ASF operates differently. We build an in-country presence: offices, trained local advisers, monthly visit schedules, and digital infrastructure. The model was built and proven in Georgia — producing the country’s first formally accredited hospitals and a 2022 ministerial decree — and is now being adapted for each new country we enter.
Three offices (Tbilisi · Kutaisi · Batumi), 50+ facilities in active support, the country’s first accreditations in history, a ministerial decree embedding ASF standards in national policy. Eight years of continuous in-country operation.
Each country programme is designed around local adviser capacity, number of facilities in the cohort, and existing health system infrastructure. Pricing is quoted at programme level — not per-service.
One monthly fee. Everything between surveys.

Your facility’s quality work — a patient council initiative, a clinical improvement, an accreditation milestone — published on the national ASF-partner medical platform. Builds public trust and demonstrates institutional accountability to patients and payers.
Online training (video curriculum + live sessions) aligned to ASF standards. For physicians, nurses, administrators, and quality managers. Participants receive a verifiable certificate recorded in the ASF Training Passport. Full course: 3–5 sessions.
Expert on-site visit: process review, standards gap analysis, written recommendations. The most direct way to know where your facility stands before a survey. Minimum 3 hours recommended. Visit pricing varies by country — set at programme level based on local adviser rates and logistics.
Monthly management of your patient council — meeting scheduling, agenda preparation, documentation, and formal reporting to ASF standards. A mandatory accreditation requirement that is frequently under-resourced and among the first things surveyors examine.
Structured analysis of patient survey data, delivered as a formal report each month. Mandatory for accreditation and essential for continuous improvement. Feeds directly into your quality cycle. Recommended minimum: quarterly formal report, monthly monitoring.
Targeted training for front-line staff in patient communication, engagement management, and needs assessment. The quality of patient experience is set at the front line — not in management meetings. Full course: 6 sessions, certificate on completion.
Technical and visual assessment of patient-facing spaces — corridors, waiting areas, sanitation facilities, patient rooms. Frequently overlooked by facilities; closely scrutinised by surveyors. Includes written findings with standards references. Standard visit: 3 hours.
End-to-end support organising, mapping to standards, and uploading your documentation to the ASF accreditation platform. Incorrect or incomplete evidence upload is one of the most common reasons facilities underperform at survey — and the easiest to prevent.
A full-day simulation of the official accreditation survey — your facility assessed in real operating conditions by ASF-trained surveyors, exactly as the formal survey will unfold. The single most effective intervention before a scheduled survey. Reduces errors, surfaces gaps, builds team confidence.
Every staff member trained under ASF receives a verifiable digital certificate recorded in the ASF Training Passport — a QR-verified credential accepted for CME/CPD across 40+ countries. Facilities can demonstrate workforce competence to surveyors instantly. HR portals can upload and manage bulk records.
Accreditation milestones, quality improvement cases, and patient safety data can be published as citable academic outputs in the Georgian Medical Journal (Scopus-indexed, DOI-assigned, open access) or partner platforms. Turns institutional achievement into international professional visibility for your clinical team.
For ministries, health authorities, or hospital networks enrolling multiple facilities simultaneously. ASF designs the local adviser network, recruits and trains country-specific surveyors, establishes patient council infrastructure, and manages the cohort as a national programme. Georgia (50+ facilities in active support) is the flagship national programme.
Georgia is the baseline. Every country is different.
Georgia is ASF’s most mature market — three offices, an established local adviser network, proven workflows, and scale built over eight years. Pricing there reflects that efficiency.
When ASF enters a new country, the subscription price is calculated around three factors that are specific to each national context. The Georgia price is a floor — not a universal rate.
The more facilities ASF supports in a country simultaneously, the lower the per-facility cost. A cohort of ten hospitals shares adviser time, training logistics, and platform infrastructure. Ministries and networks that enrol as a group receive cohort pricing.
Every country requires trained local advisers who deliver visits, run training, and liaise between facilities and the ASF international team. Adviser costs depend on local professional rates, travel logistics, and the number of specialists required per facility type and accreditation stage.
Countries with an established ASF office carry lower fixed costs per facility. New country programmes include a setup phase — typically 6–12 months — during which the adviser network is recruited, trained, and embedded before the subscription model begins.
