Healthcare Facilities Accredition Program (HFAP) was originally created in 1945 to conduct an objective review of services provided by osteopathic hospitals. In 1965, HFAP received authority from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to provide accreditation to hospitals, ambulatory care/surgical facilities, mental health facilities, physical rehabilitation facilities, clinical laboratories, and critical access hospitals. HFAP adopted the 34 Safe Practices set forth by the National Quality Forum (NQF) in 2009 (HFAP, 2017).
