Consequently, safe and quality health services in hospitals have become the main hopes and goals of the community, health workers, managers, owners, and regulators. A common external strategy used globally involves recognizing the applied quality management system, specifically certification and accreditation. OBJECTIVE: Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between levels of quality perception and accreditation in hospitals based on several variables. METHODS: A total of 13 hospitals were examined in this cross-sectional study, while a questionnaire consisting of 24 validated items was used for data collection. Subsequently, the analysis was performed by utilizing descriptive statistics and chi-square techniques. RESULTS: From the results obtained, the patient assessment, drug use management, patient and family education, infection prevention and control, alongside facility management and safety variables, had a relationship with the level of hospital accreditation, while patient service did not. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, each hospital is expected to improve its service quality and accreditation. ## Keywords - Accreditation - Certification - Hospital accreditation - Quality (philosophy) - Descriptive statistics - Quality management - Data collection - Nursing - Health care - Medicine - Family medicine - Control (management) - Service (business) - Service quality - Business - Medical education - Marketing - Statistics - Computer science - Economic growth - Mathematics - Law - Artificial intelligence - Philosophy - Political science - Epistemology - Economics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
