New automation efforts are underway at ABHES, which include a new Annual Report. The new Annual Report will consist of three parts. Part one will be an online questionnaire that will ask you to verify general information, as well as Institutional or Programmatic accreditation information. Part two will require the institution to download and complete a spreadsheet(s) for each program (that is active as of June 30, 2020). Additionally, you may also be asked to upload supporting documentation. Part three will be a separate financial section under a separate password. The new Annual Report is scheduled to go into production on or before September 16, 2020. ABHES staff will conduct several webinars on how to complete the new Annual Report in September and October.

The new Annual Report and Guidebook for the reporting period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 will be posted in September 2020, for submission in December 2020.

If you have any questions related to the annual report, please contact the ABHES office directly or email us at annualreport@abhes.org.

A Self-Evaluation Report is a core component of the accreditation process. In preparing a Self-Evaluation Report, an applicant institution involves broad participation from all appropriate constituencies. This participation includes the chief executive officer, site administrator, program or education director(s), instructors, students, graduates, employers, consultants or advisors and other appropriate constituents in the local community, including advisory board members.

A Self-Evaluation Report is confidential, restricted primarily to Commissioners, staff members, and evaluators.

The Self-Evaluation Report (narrative and exhibits) must be accurate, thorough, fully documented, and submitted in English. Once the Self-Evaluation Report is submitted no changes are permitted. After submission of the final Self-Evaluation Report, and prior to the evaluation visit, changes must be reported on the Updated Information Form.
