NABH International Takes Off with Seminar Workshop on Accreditation for Healthcare Providers

Committed to spreading its mission of promoting a higher level of quality

in healthcare, NABH-International, through its Philippine representative

HealthCORE, will be holding a Seminar Workshop for hospitals, clinics,

diagnostic centers, spas, wellness centers, blood banks, community centers,

and other small healthcare organizations.

Entitled "Introduction to International Accreditation Standards: An

Approach towards Quality Services and Patient Safety in Healthcare

Organizations and Wellness Centers", the event, to be held on November 8

and 9, 2010 at the Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg Center in Ortigas, Pasig

City, will discuss methods and best practices for institutions and

organizations to achieve world-class standards.

A gathering of hospital and spa owners, administrators, quality personnel,

medical professionals, nursing supervisors, professionals and practitioners

in the healthcare and wellness industries, the Seminar Workshop will

educate participants on how they can improve the conditions, systems,

processes and skills of their facilities and professionals.

"The heart of healthcare is providing excellent services and treatments to

patients. The seminar workshop will pave the way for healthcare and

wellness providers to achieve this goal," said NABH Deputy Director Dr. BK

Rana, who was recently elected as president of the Asian Society for

Quality Healthcare (ASQua).

Workshop participants will learn about the difference between

accreditation and certification, the benefits of acquiring international

accreditation, its importance in medical tourism and health insurance

portability, and the accreditation process. It will train attendees on how

their facilities can be at par with word-class healthcare organizations and

how they can attract foreign patients and international insurance plans.

Developed and successfully implemented in India, NABH has been accredited

by the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua) under its

International Accreditation Program in 2008one of the few accrediting

organizations in the world to achieve this recognition. ISQua is an

international body which grants approval to healthcare accreditation

programs as a seal of excellence.

According to Dr. Girdhar J. Gyani, CEO of NABH-International and Director

of ISQua, "This is an opportunity for hospitals, clinics, spas and

healthcare organizations in the Philippines to benchmark with the best in

the world. International accreditation is an essential and necessary step

towards being globally competitive."

"It is a privilege for the Philippines to be the first international

venture of NABH, subsequent to its successful implementation in India.

Through NABH, the quality of healthcare delivery in India has vastly

improved, which helped us become one of the leading providers of healthcare

in the world. Through our partnership with HealthCORE, we will be able to

carry out the same mission in the Philippines," said Dr. Sanjiv Malik,

International Advisor on the Board of NABH and Executive Director of DM

Healthcare Group in UAE.

NABH International's accreditation process entails onsite visits and

facility tours to assess if standards on access, care of patients,

management of medication, patient rights and infection control are met.

Standards on continuous quality improvement, good governance, facility

safety, human resources and information management system are likewise

evaluated by highly qualified and well-trained assessors comprised of

clinicians, healthcare administrators and nursing supervisors.
