In this case, the Ministry of Health has established 6 Independent Hospital Accreditation Organizing Institutions to improve the quality of hospital services and patient safety to achieve good hospital governance and clinical governance. The division of duties, authorities, and responsibilities of each Independent Hospital Accreditation Organizing Institution must support establishing these six institutions. The type of research used in this study is legal research conducted by examining legal norms in an applicable law relating to the subject matter. This study analyzes the authority and legal responsibility of the Independent Hospital Accreditation Organizing Institution for hospital accreditation. The results of the study show that granting authority to the Independent Hospital Accreditation Institution still requires fundamental arrangements related to the distribution of duties of each institution to have legal certainty and a stronger position, as well as to some losses experienced by patients when receiving health services at hospitals that have been fully accredited, the legal responsibility of the Independent Hospital Accreditation Institution for Hospital accreditation status has implications for administrative law. Hospitals can be held civilly liable, namely hospital liability due to hospital negligence as a corporation and hospital liability due to health workers in the hospital.
