It ’ s best to seek care in accredited clinics and medical centres
It ’ s a strong sign the highest standards of care are being followed , such as through the new GlobalHealth Quality and Innovation Accreditation
The best way is to look for a quality hallmark that assures them their choice healthcare provider has instituted processes , procedures , and standards that meet the following criteria and are constantly monitored for improvement .
Choosing the right doctor and hospital can often be a tough call for patients as they struggle with questions of safety , cost , and expertise .
One simple thing to look for is the type of healthcare accreditation your doctor or hospital has . This is a key parameter that can reassure people they ’ re going in the right direction .
Luckily in Asia , we have a number of quality improvement consultation and accreditation services that set the standards for specialist clinics in the region , providing a rigorous framework that guides the delivery of safe , high-quality , and innovative healthcare .
Driven by high rates of economic and population growth , healthcare demand in Asia has been soaring , with many new providers springing up throughout the region to cater to the surging number of patients . As a result of this growth , increased oversight of clinical practices will become a top priority , especially at a juncture when digitised medicine and new technologies are transforming the patient experience and informed patients are now having more say in their treatment options .
When choosing a healthcare provider , patients are no doubt looking for the best and most trusted . But how do they know if a hospital or specialist clinic deserves their confidence�
The best way is to look for a quality hallmark that assures them their choice healthcare provider has instituted processes , procedures , and standards that meet the following criteria and are constantly monitored for improvement :
• Meet quality and safety standards : The provider ’ s service conforms to global standards , best practices , and local regulatory requirements .
• Responsible staff� The provider ’ s staff are accountable for the patient ’ s safety and care .
• Appropriate care : The provider will respond to the patient ’ s needs with appropriate care to ensure the best possible outcome .
• Patient collaboration : The provider will keep the patient informed and involved in their healthcare planning .
