Medical Tourism, Healthcare and Surgery Abroad: JCI Accreditation

As the seemingly endless debate on healthcare continues in the USA, many are choosing medical tourism as an alternative to what appears to be a broken and expensive American healthcare system. If you are opting for healthcare and surgery abroad (medical tourism), you should familiarize yourself with JCI accreditation standards. JCI accreditation is a complex process that foreign healthcare organizations go through to insure that they can provide quality care for their patients.

The Joint Commission International (JCI) is an extension of America’s Joint Commission that sets quality healthcare standards for American hospitals. Foreign hospitals that receive JCI accreditation have demonstrated an ability to develop an organizational culture focused on continuous healthcare improvement with an emphasis on patient safety. JCI accreditation standards have been developed by healthcare experts from around the world to insure that healthcare and surgery abroad will be performed using the highest possible standards. JCI accredited facilities are probably your best options for medical tourism.

Health organizations that participate in JCI accreditation not only must demonstrate that they are able to meet JCI accreditation standards, but have in place the means to continuously upgrade, educate and train its staff. JCI accreditation is a key step in insuring that your decision to opt for medical tourism in a foreign hospital will meet the highest standards of healthcare for healthcare and surgery abroad.

The types of JCI accreditation that a foreign healthcare organization providing medical tourism can receive are as follows:

• Ambulatory Care: ambulatory care settings include facilities such as ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis facilities, dental care centers and clinical diagnostic centers,
• Care Continuum: community based care settings that include home care, assisted living, hospice and long term care,
• Clinical Laboratories: laboratories that perform various medical tests,
• Hospitals: medical settings that provide acute hospital care, medical and psychiatric care, and clinical laboratories, and
• Medical Transport: organizations that provide medical transport, dispatch services, and medical services during transport.

What kind of medical care will you need if you retire abroad?

You should consult with your doctor on this for the best advice. In general, if you have a family history where acute (short term hospital care and procedures) are likely to be needed, then a country offering hospitals with JCI accreditation are a decent choice for surgery abroad or medical tourism.

On the other hand, if you have long term care needs – such as something in place of an American nursing home – then a country that can provide facilities that have JCI accreditation for the Care Continuum may be your best choice for healthcare abroad or medical tourism.
