What is the primary difference between accreditation and certification?

Answer
A
accreditation demands a higher level of credibility
B
accreditation evaluates doctors and certification evaluates nurses
C
accreditation is offered to organizations, and certification is offered to programs within those organizations

Explanation

Accreditation generally evaluates an entire organization, while certification recognizes that a specific program or service within an organization meets established standards. Therefore, choice C gives the primary difference. The distinction is about what is evaluated, not whether the process demands more credibility or applies to a particular healthcare profession.
