Galenia Hospital Accreditations

The objective of the National Certification System for Medical Care Establishments (SiNaCEAM) is to contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of medical care services and the safety provided to patients, in addition to encouraging participating institutions to maintain competitive advantages to achieve, sustain and improve their position in the environment. In this context, the Certification of Health Care Establishments is the process by which the General Health Council recognizes health care establishments, which participate voluntarily and meet the necessary standards to provide good quality services in medical care and safety to patients.

Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation is the oldest and most internationally recognized hospital service certification. This process reflects a commitment to excellence in patient safety and care, and serves to recognize that health care services live up to the most important international practices, while accreditation helps demonstrate the general commitment of an organization to quality, certification in turn demonstrates excellence in specific areas by promoting better outcomes through integration and coordination of care. Standards assessed by Joint Commission International accreditation provide meaningful metrics to improve quality and safety of the patient in all clinical and administrative functions of the Hospital, as well as to adopt continuous improvements in performance.

The International Accreditation Canada (ACI) program, called Qmentum International, is based on Canada’s highly regarded quality model of health that has been developed through extensive research and experience. Qmentum International Standards of Excellence cover the entire continuous health care. Organizations in all health sectors use core standards, service-specific standards apply to clinical services based on their safety profile. There are also standards for effective organization, Infection Prevention and Control and Medication Management that are tailored specifically to smaller organizations. Accreditation Levels Qmentum International has three levels of accreditation. Gold, Platinum and Diamond. The Galenia Hospital accreditation was Diamond level, with maximum compliance with international standards.
