Tonight, all eyes are on the ice. 🏒

While championship hockey and accreditation may not seem like obvious teammates, the formula for lasting success looks pretty familiar.

It takes preparation before the pressure is on.
It takes clear standards everyone understands.
It takes accountability across the full team.

And it takes a commitment to getting better after every period, every shift, and every season.

That's what high-performing organizations do. They build systems that hold up when it matters.

At ACHC, we are proud to be THE Standard for Modern Accreditation: clear, collaborative, and built for organizations committed to lasting progress.

Here's to high standards and strong teams dedicated to playing the long game.

Specialty pharmacy keeps getting more complex. That makes clear standards, trained clinicians, and patient-centered oversight even more important.

At Asembia’s AXS26 Summit, ACHC Program Director Caroline Girardeau joined Pharmacy Podcast to discuss specialty pharmacy, ACHC’s new Distinction in Ig Therapy, and the opportunity to elevate practice in a high-risk, highly specialized area of care.

Developed in collaboration with Immunoglobulin National Society, the distinction is designed to support pharmacies providing Ig therapy by focusing on the elements that matter most: clinician expertise, therapy response, patient tolerance, risk reduction, and safe, high-quality care.

Access to dialysis care shouldn’t come at the expense of consistency, support, or quality.

Through our continued partnership with Vantive Health, ACHC is helping expand access to renal dialysis services while reinforcing the standards that make care safer and more reliable, especially in home and alternative settings.

As more patients seek flexible care options, partnerships like this help ensure providers are equipped to meet that demand without compromising outcomes.
