Today’s successful healthcare facilities must meet stringent demands across every aspect of their operations. Patients, clinicians, governments and other key stakeholder bodies are increasingly seeking objective assurance that hospitals and day surgeries are being managed in accordance with quality and safety criteria.
In many cases, a healthcare facility’s ability to operate, or eligibility for funding, is reliant on the appropriate certification or objective assessment of performance in key areas. Importantly, SAI Global’s Health 9000 certification is recognized for accreditation purposes by both the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing and Private Health Funds.
What is Health 9000?
SAI Global’s Health 9000 certification assessment service is based on the world-renowned business management standard
ISO 9001 and recognized clinical processes. Health 9000 is particularly noted for its flexibility and can be meaningfully applied to facilities of different sizes, scopes and specialties.
The Health 9000 approach offers a comprehensive framework on which to build processes that help ensure key business and clinical objectives are achieved. Its worldwide recognition and acceptance is a reflection of the flexibility and proven, practical value it offers. Importantly Health 9000 is based upon a process model that is designed to facilitate continual improvement and avoid the cost and time drain of superfluous review and documentation processes.
