As a hospital administrator, I need to understand the general steps involved in the CIHQ accreditation process and the associated costs. Please outline the main phases of the accreditation process and provide details on how pricing is structured or what factors influence it.
Navigate to 'cihq.org'. Select 'Hospitals' as the visitor type (ID 24). Click on the 'Frequently Asked Questions' link (ID 111). If the general steps are not clearly outlined in the FAQs, go back to the 'Welcome: Hospitals' page. On the 'Welcome: Hospitals' page, click on the 'Pricing Information' link (ID 113). Extract information regarding how pricing is structured or what factors influence it. Synthesize the gathered information about the accreditation process (from FAQs or general site content) and pricing.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Welcome: Hospitals' page. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Pricing Information' page. The agent states that pricing is based on hospital bed count. The agent states that pricing includes all services, including standards interpretation, resource library, and updates for the accreditation period. The agent states that there are no additional fees for travel, per diems, or other hidden costs. The agent acknowledges if the general steps of the accreditation process are not explicitly detailed on the navigable web pages (e.g., that they are likely in a PDF guide).
