Re-Accreditation (2016-2019)
Accreditation is a process in which an entity, separate from the healthcare
organization, assesses the healthcare organization to determine if it meets a set of requirements or standards
designed to improve quality of care.
Joint Commission International (JCI)
Accreditation is the most sought after accreditation due to the thoroughness of its processes that covers everything
from patient entry to discharge and asses all aspects of management, to meet the standards of the best Hospitals in
the world.
JCI was established in 1997 as a division of Joint Commission
Resources, Inc. (JCR), a private, not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint
Commission. JCI extends The Joint Commission’s mission worldwide by assisting international health care
organizations, public health agencies, health ministries and others to improve the quality and safety of patient
care in more than 80 countries.
The National Guard Health Affairs in the three regions was
reaccredited by the JCI and thus received the JCI ‘Gold Seal of Approval’ in December 2009 with excellent results,
which means a visible commitment to improve the quality of patient care, to ensure safe environment, to continually
work to reduce risks to patients and staff, and to achieve the highest standards of care.
