CBAHI — the Saudi Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions — is the national body that sets and evaluates patient-safety and quality standards for healthcare facilities in the Kingdom. Accreditation is mandatory, granted after a self-assessment and an on-site survey against the CBAHI standards.
Your HIS is central to CBAHI compliance — from patient identification and medication safety to documentation and reporting. SBS configures your systems to the relevant standards, builds the evidence and dashboards surveyors look for, and runs a mock survey so there are no surprises on the day.
