In Alvis’s 2021 pursuit to be re-accredited by CARF, a worldwide independent, nonprofit organization focused on advancing the quality of health services, our platform, Presto PDCA Quality Assurance was used to support the extensive list of quality checks necessary for the accreditation.

More than 15.3 million persons of all ages are served annually by 8,000-plus CARF-accredited service providers. CARF accreditation extends to countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
