The consultancy scope for NABH AYUSH
Accreditation is based on the 3rd Edition Standards (for Ayurveda, Yoga &
Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy). This accreditation focuses on
integrating traditional clinical protocols with modern safety standards.
A specialized AYUSH consultancy provides
the following scope of service:
1.
Gap Analysis & Infrastructure Alignment
Infrastructure Audit: Evaluating the
facility for AYUSH-specific requirements, such as specialized therapy rooms
(e.g., Panchakarma theaters, Shastrakarma rooms) and medicinal plant gardens.
Safety Integration: Ensuring fire safety,
ramps, and grab bars are integrated without compromising the traditional
healing environment.
Pharmacy & Medicine Storage: Verifying
that the Aushadh-shala (pharmacy) complies with Ayush-GMP (Good Manufacturing
Practices) and maintains proper temperature controls.
2.
Traditional Clinical Protocols & SOPs
Consultants assist in documenting
specialized procedures that are often unique to AYUSH:
Therapy SOPs: Drafting step-by-step
protocols for procedures like Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Bastis, or Leech therapy,
including pre- and post-procedure care.
Dietary Management: Establishing SOPs for
Pathya-apathya (prescribed diet) and ensuring the hospital kitchen meets
hygiene standards for therapeutic diets.
Panchakarma Safety: Implementing safety
checks for thermal therapies and ensuring the prevention of burns or falls
during oil-based treatments.
3.
AYUSH-Specific Quality Indicators
Consultants set up systems to track
metrics required by the NABH AYUSH Standards:
Therapy Success Rates: Monitoring outcomes
for specific chronic conditions (e.g., skin disorders or musculoskeletal pain).
Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR): Establishing
a "Pharmacovigilance" system to report any adverse effects of
traditional medicines.
Patient Experience: Tracking satisfaction
levels specific to the long-term nature of AYUSH treatments.
4.
Statutory & Regulatory Compliance
License Management: Ensuring the hospital
has a valid Form 25-D (for in-house medicine manufacturing), Fire NOC, and BMW
(Biomedical Waste) authorization.
Practitioner Credentialing: Verifying the
registration of all AYUSH doctors with the National Commission for Indian
System of Medicine (NCISM) or the National Commission for Homoeopathy.
5.
Staff Training & Awareness
Sensitization: Training therapists and
traditional practitioners on the importance of "Informed Consent" and
"Evidence-based Documentation."
Emergency Management: Training staff on
handling medical emergencies (e.g., sudden hypoglycemia or fainting) and
maintaining a "Crash Cart" with essential life-saving equipment.
Infection Control: Implementing
sterilization protocols for reusable therapy equipment (like wooden droni or
metallic instruments).
6.
Desktop & Final Assessment Support
NABH Portal Management: Managing the
digital upload of the Self-Assessment Toolkit (SAT) tailored for AYUSH.
Documentation Evidence: Uploading
geotagged photos of therapy rooms, medicine preparation areas, and patient
counseling zones.
NC Resolution: Guiding the hospital
through the 15-day window to close any Non-Conformities (NCs) raised during the
NABH AYUSH Assessment.
2026
Key Focus: Digital Integration
For 2026, consultants emphasize the use of
AYUSH-specific Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to track long-term patient
outcomes and standardized clinical terminology, which is a major focus of the
latest standards.
