ith the support of the government and the guidance of the Steering Committee on Hospital Accreditation, HA recently confirmed the direction of the next phase of the hospital accreditation scheme, based on experiences of the five pilot hospitals and comments by colleagues.
A pragmatic approach will be taken to achieve continuous improvements. The following are updates of the extended phase of the scheme:
 |
The tender process of appointing a partner international
accrediting agent was completed in October 2011
|
 |
Starting from October 2011, HA Quality and Safety
Division will join hands with quality managers from pilot hospitals
to visit 15 participating hospitals for direct communication
and introduction of the scheme
|
 |
Starting from November this year, workshops will
be organised by consultants from accrediting agent and local
trainers, to help hospitals understand the requirements for
achieving accreditation. Local experiences and case studies
will be provided for reference
