IAC Standards & Guidelines for Accreditation

IAC Standards

The documents published below are the minimum Standards for facilities to acquire or maintain IAC accreditation. In addition to all Standards listed, all applicant facilities and staff must comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations. Additionally, facilities must also follow laws relating to licensed scope of practice, facility operations and billing requirements.

Guidelines are descriptions, examples or recommendations that elaborate on Standards, however, guidelines are not requirements. Guidelines can assist with interpretation of the Standards. Standards are in regular typeface in outline form, but guidelines are in italic typeface and in narrative form.

Applicant facilities must reference the current published version of the Standards when applying for first-time accreditation or reaccreditation.
