The Importance of CHAP Accreditation
CHAP’s Standards of Excellence are a comprehensive set of guidelines and requirements that organizations like ours must meet to achieve accreditation. These standards are deeply rooted in industry practices and cover critical areas such as clinical care, patient safety, management practices, and organizational governance. This ensures that we not only meet but exceed the expectations for quality healthcare provision.

A Testament to Our Team’s Dedication
"The CHAP accreditation is another endorsement of the good work we do," stated CEO Jeff Barnhard. “Our reaccreditation is a team achievement, exemplifying the hard work and dedication of every member of the Lincare family.”
A Legacy of Excellence
CHAP made history in 1992 by becoming the first home care accrediting body in the nation to receive deeming authority from the federal government. This recognition certified that CHAP’s Standards of Excellence met or surpassed the government’s own standards for Medicare certification, thus setting a high benchmark for quality in healthcare.
At Lincare, we are honored to carry the legacy of excellence that CHAP signifies. Our reaccreditation reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standard of care to our patients and upholding the integrity and quality of our services. We remain dedicated to advancing healthcare standards and ensuring the well-being of our communities.
