Scope
Certification means something specific.
Scope is the difference between a meaningful certification and a vague badge. Every certificate states exactly what was reviewed, and everything else is explicitly outside it.

Scope elements
What a scope statement contains.
- The legal operating entity and any affiliates included
- Each customer-facing brand and domain covered
- Each service or program covered, by clinical workflow
- Synchronous, asynchronous or hybrid delivery models
- States in which the covered services are offered
- Third parties material to the covered workflows
- The standards version applied and the date of review
Outside scope
What is never implied by certification.
- Approval, endorsement or accreditation by any government body
- A guarantee of compliance with any specific law or regulation
- Approval by a processor, bank, network, platform or pharmacy
- Clinical quality of care or individual treatment outcomes
- Services, brands or states not listed in the scope statement
Changes
Scope drifts unless it is managed.
Adding states, services, brands or fulfillment partners changes what a certification describes. Monitoring exists to detect that drift, and renewal exists to reconcile it.
Operating outside the certified scope while displaying the badge is grounds for suspension.
