Even Hospital Secures NABH 6th Edition Accreditation Within First Year, Validating Its Outcome-Driven Care Model

Accreditation follows a year of measurable clinical outcomes, including 40% shorter hospital stays, sub-1% unplanned readmissions and zero post-operative infections, reflecting NABH’s 6th Edition focus on outcomes, digital health and clinical governance.

Even Hospital, Race course Road has secured accreditation under the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) 6th Edition standards within its first year of operation, an achievement that reflects not just compliance with quality standards, but a hospital built for the future of healthcare. With this accreditation, Even Hospital, race course road  becomes the 9th hospital in Bangalore to be accredited under NABH’s 6th Edition standards, and 59th to receive full NABH accreditation.

Unlike previous editions, the 6th Edition marks a structural shift in how hospital quality is assessed. While earlier editions largely measured whether the right processes were documented and followed, the new framework requires hospitals to demonstrate that those processes translate into better patient outcomes, stronger digital health infrastructure, and continuous clinical governance.

Even Hospital on Race Course Road was evaluated across 570+ parameters spanning patient safety, infection prevention, medication management, governance, clinical quality and operational excellence. Even Hospitals are built around this philosophy from day one. Even's proprietary Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, AI-powered clinical governance platform, and managed care model were designed around this outcomes-first standard rather than retrofitted to meet it. The EMR and governance platform digitally capture and audit each stage of the patient journey, from outpatient prescription to discharge summary, supporting real-time clinical oversight rather than retrospective compliance review.

A core requirement of the 6th Edition is demonstrating measurable, longitudinal improvement in patient outcomes. Even's managed care model follows patients after discharge and tracks Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), allowing the hospital to monitor recovery and long-term health outcomes beyond the point of discharge.

A year of clinical results

  • Delivered 1,37,796 specialist consultations

  • Tracked 1,255 hospital discharges

  • Supported more than 40,000 members through continuous, post-discharge care

  • Helped avoid over 200 hospitalisations through early intervention

  • Maintained sub-1% unplanned readmissions among more than 1,000 claimants across insurance-linked care programmes

  • Reduced average hospital stays by 40% relative

  • Recorded zero post-operative infections across tracked surgical cohorts

The achievement also serves as a validation for the company's expansion plans, with Even set to launch 4-5 additional hospitals across Bengaluru over the next 12 months,  using the NABH 6th Edition framework as the clinical and operational blueprint for each new facility from inception.

Commenting on the accreditation, Animesh Roy, CEO, Even Hospitals, "Our ambition was never to build a hospital that simply meets standards, we wanted to build one where quality is measurable, technology strengthens every clinical decision and patient outcomes continue to improve long after discharge. The NABH 6th Edition validates exactly that approach because it recognises hospitals that can demonstrate better outcomes, stronger governance and continuous improvement, not just better documentation. For us, this is an important milestone. It's validation that the systems we've built are delivering better care for patients."

For Even, the accreditation is more than a regulatory milestone. It validates a fundamentally different approach to healthcare, one where patient outcomes, continuous engagement, digital innovation and rigorous clinical governance are embedded into everyday care.

As India moves towards a more outcome-driven healthcare system, Even believes quality will increasingly be defined not only by what happens inside hospital walls, but by how well patients recover long after they leave.
