Site Wide Accreditation - while not an adaptation to the HIPPY model, this is an adaptation to how HIPPY Accreditation is handled. A Site Wide Accreditation visit means that a multi-coordinator site is accredited as one, not per coordinator. 

The accreditation documents include ETO reports as documentation - please use this chart to identify VT reports to substitute for ETO. 

Coordinators, please print and sign your adaptation form(s) and put in your accreditation binder as needed, (if your site implements the adaptation).
