2026 Draft Accreditation Standards

At the May 2025 Board Meeting, the CAHME Board of Directors approved the final draft of the 2026 Accreditation Standards to be brought to the field for public comment. We invited all interested parties to review and provide feedback on the draft standards during our 60 day public comment period, which closed on August 1, 2025. All submitted comments were reviewed by CAHME management and the Standards Council which resulted in this revised version of the 2026 Accreditation Standards.

 On September 10, 2025 the below 2026 CAHME Draft Accreditation Standards were approved by the Standards Council. These standards will go for final approval to the CAHME Board of Directors on October 20, 2025.
