Entry Level Certification

NABH Entry Level Certification Software
for Hospitals & SHCOs

AccredReady supports HCO ELC and SHCO ELC in one platform. Track Entry Level standards, form mandatory committees, build your quality foundation, and upgrade to Full Accreditation when ready.

Two ELC Programmes, One Platform

Hospitals and small healthcare organizations follow different Entry Level pathways. AccredReady handles both with a programme switcher.

  • ELC objective element scoring
  • Upgrade path to HCO Full Accreditation
Small facilities

SHCO Entry Level Certification

For nursing homes, day care centres, and small healthcare organizations. Right-sized ELC standards for smaller operational scope. Validity: 2 years.

Why Start with ELC?

PMJAY Rate Benefit

ELC-certified hospitals empanelled under PMJAY may qualify for enhanced reimbursement. See our PMJAY incentive guide.

Lower Entry Barrier

ELC focuses on core safety standards — a practical first step for hospitals building quality systems without jumping straight to Full Accreditation.

Clear Upgrade Path

Evidence built during ELC carries forward. Switch to Full Accreditation mode in AccredReady when your hospital is ready for the complete standard set.
