Hi Jessica,
i am not sure if I fully understand your question. But generally speaking, accredited hospitals have proven that they have standardized protocols for certain procedures, have the right personell with regards to numbers and expertise, and they treat a specific number of patients for a certain medical indication (disease). For example, a hospital accredited for a certain hip replacement procedure, let's say robotics-based, is doing above 500 of such procedures a year in order to maintain its accreditation. Same is true for neonatal ICUs, among many other factors, their accreditation for let's say level 3 depends on the number of babies and more so premature babies that they treat each year. Accreditation refers to high standard of care and expertise. Expertise is linked to qualification of staff and experience. Experience can only be gained by seeing many patients and learning from their outcomes.
I hope this helped to answer your question.
Best wishes,

There are two primary hospitals in my area and multiple small surgery centers. I have privileges to practice at both major hospitals but only two of the surgery centers. The accreditation process can be cumbersome with lots of paperwork, so you only want to maintain privileges where you really plan to see patients and/or perform procedures.
