Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effects of healthcare accreditation on patient safety and quality, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. One group pretest posttest design was used. The study included 405 participants, who have worked for more than one year in a general hospital. The treatment was healthcare accreditation which was prepared from Apr. 2012 and tested by Korea Institution for Healthcare Accreditation on Nov. 2012. Data was analyzed using paired t-test and One-Way ANOVA. This study found patient safety and quality(t=7.28, p=.000), job satisfaction(t=7.13, p=.000) and organizational commitment(t=3.44, p=.001) increased significantly after healthcare accreditation. The results of this study suggest that healthcare accreditation has the potential to improve patient safety and quality, job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
