Accreditation Mission Hospital is proud to be one of the first few private hospitals in Thailand to receive Hospital Accreditation (HA). The HA program is a program for quality improvement for both public and private hospitals in Thailand. The fundamentals of this program are patient focus, organizational and multi-disciplinary teamwork and continuous self-assessment and improvement. The HA program began in 1994 out of the need for a more comprehensive hospital standard. Hospital standards for the US, Canada, Australia and UK were reviewed and the Thai hospital standard was drafted in 1996. Thirty-five hospitals from both private and public sectors joined the HA pilot program in order to create model hospitals, fine tune standards, strengthen the initial team of surveyors, and promote better understanding of the program by the public and healthcare professionals. In 1999, HA-Thailand conducted its first survey on 4 hospitals. The survey process was a combination of the Canadian and the US style. The rating method was based on the European Quality Award. Nine general standards were used – mission and vision, organization, manpower management, education and training, policies and procedures, environment of care, instruments, systems and processes and continuous quality improvement activities and results. The HA-Thailand program, has maintained a high standard. By 2002, fewer than 10 private of 470 private hospitals had received HA accreditation. Mission Hospital is honored in the top five hospitals to receive this accreditation. The HA standards continue to evolve and improve, following the trends in the United States. In 2004, patient safety became a top priority. Hospitals now focus on patient identification, a high-risk medication alert system, correct surgical site, infusion pumps, medical and drug abbreviations, and prevention of hospital-acquired infections.
