HLAC Accreditation Standards
HLAC is in the process of updating the HLAC 2023 Accreditation Standards.
The HLAC Accreditation Standards incorporates federal regulations and evidence-based guidelines as well as best industry practice and are established as the minimum acceptable practice in this endeavor. HLAC standards are reviewed and revised every three years to ensure we are following the most current and best practices available.
The 2023 HLAC Accreditation Standards have been released and went into effect as of January 1, 2023.
The HLAC Accreditation Standards continue to heighten awareness and increase understanding of the infection prevention and safety culture in the laundry personnel for healthcare textiles where programs, policies, procedures, and practices are common concepts and language.
The elements of laundry processing are specific operations involving procedures, facilities, administrative activities, equipment, personnel, quality monitoring, and advanced technologies as appropriate.
HLAC has now accredited around 180 laundries and continues to make progress in raising the bar for healthcare laundries, greatly benefiting patient safety in the process. HLAC looks forward to another great year of partnership with remarkable laundries and their teams!
