HospitalMitra is a team of NABH consultants in Chennai, working with hospitals across India and only on NABH, aligned to the editions NABH assesses against today. We study your wards, records and committees against the current objective elements, write what is missing, train your people and run mock assessments until every chapter holds up on the day.
Every gap assessment, document and mock assessment we deliver is mapped to the current edition and its objective elements, so nothing you prepare is out of date on assessment day.
Pick a single piece of work or hand us the whole project. Either way you get one consultant who knows your hospital by name, not a rotating team.
A walk-through of every department against each 6th Edition or Entry Level 2nd Edition objective element, with a scored report and a ranked list of what to fix first.
Quality manual, departmental SOPs, policies, formats and registers written for how your hospital actually runs.
Ward-level sessions for nurses, doctors, housekeeping and front office, plus committee training for the quality team.
Set up the mandated clinical and managerial indicators, data capture, monthly analysis and corrective action records.
We play the assessor: tracer interviews, record review and facility rounds, then a closing report you can act on.
Re-mapping 5th Edition systems to the 6th Edition, portal application, assessment-day presence, non-conformity closure and re-accreditation.
Each NABH standard is a set of chapters. Each chapter holds standards, and each standard is broken into objective elements, the individual requirements an assessor checks on the ground.
Alongside NABH Digital Health, hospitals deal with three related frameworks: India’s national digital health network, its data protection law and the international security standards. Choose one to see how it works.
Typical timelines for a mid-sized hospital preparing for 6th Edition accreditation. Entry Level 2nd Edition and smaller centres usually move faster.

Owners and dates for each gap, agreed with management.
Manuals, SOPs, formats and committee charters drafted and approved.
Department sessions and quick competency checks.
Indicators tracked, audits started, records filled daily.
A full assessor-style visit and a closing report.
Portal submission, assessment day, NC closure.
Quarterly reviews, surveillance and renewal support.
"Mitra" means friend. HospitalMitra is the dedicated healthcare accreditation practice of DPOfficer.in, a Chennai-based compliance training and audit firm. We work only on NABH and NABH Digital, backed by certified lead auditors and a dedicated training academy.
We stay with you after the assessment. Accreditation is renewed, standards are revised and staff change, and the hospitals that keep their status are the ones that keep the habits going.
New applications have been assessed against the 6th Edition since 1 January 2025, and accredited hospitals move to it at their next assessment. Infection control becomes Infection Prevention and Control, the quality chapter becomes Patient Safety and Quality Improvement, the wording is now mandatory and there are more Core elements. We re-map your existing manuals and records so you only rework what has actually changed.
Entry Level 2nd Edition (45 standards, 167 objective elements) suits smaller hospitals or those starting their quality journey, and it leads naturally to full 6th Edition accreditation. After the gap assessment we will tell you which one fits your size, services and timeline.
Most mid-sized hospitals reach a ready state in four to six months. It depends on how much documentation already exists and how quickly staff can be released for training.
No. NABH assesses and accredits. Our job is to get your hospital genuinely ready and support you through the assessment and any non-conformities that follow.
Yes. The Digital Health Standards 2nd Edition is its own programme, with eight chapters and Silver, Gold and Platinum levels. Hospitals already working on the 6th Edition find it easier, and we can prepare for both in one engagement.
Yes. Gap assessments and mock assessments are on site. Documentation reviews, training and follow-ups can run remotely between visits.
A 30-minute call, no charge. Bring your bed count, departments and any NABH work you've already done.
