International Medical Travelers’ Behavioral Intention: An Empirical Study in Iran

“…However, this study was focusing on the nursing staff from 22 hospital units in Saudi Arabia, therefore it indicated that the results of all four types of information obtained by this study showed an overall highly significant positive attitude toward the application of the process of accreditation (Al Awa et al, 2011). Likewise, research was carried out to investigate the perception of accreditation by doctors and nurses in Jordanian private hospitals, and indicated that doctors' and nurses' attitudes toward hospital accreditation standards are positive (Diab, 2011).…”

The impact of accreditation on healthcare quality improvement: a qualitative case study

“…However, notwithstanding the commonly accepted perceptions by governments (El-Jardali et al, 2008) and healthcare professionals (Diab, 2011;El-Jardali et al, 2008) on the benefits of accreditation; existing evidence is either modest Lutfiyya et al, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 r n a l o f H e a l t h O r g a n i z a t i o n a n d M a n a g e m e 3 2009) or inconclusive (Bogh et al, 2015;Braithwaite et al, 2010;Dean Beaulieu and Epstein, 2002;Greenfield and Braithwaite, 2008;Miller et al, 2005;Shaw et al, 2010;Thornlow and Merwin, 2009), particularly regarding its impact on the quality of care. For example, findings from a study of 216 state psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. revealed a weak association between accreditation and the seven indicators of quality of care selected (average cost per patient, per diem bed cost, total staff hours per patient, clinical staff hours per patient, percent of staff hours provided by medical staff bed turnover, and percent of beds occupied) (Hadley and McGurrin, 1988).…”

O que Motiva os Hospitais Brasileiros a Buscar a Acreditação?

“…Os hospitais têm enfrentado desafios em termos de redução de custos, aumento da qualidade e da segurança dos pacientes, que demandam a busca constante pela melhoria dos processos e estimulam a busca pela acreditação hospitalar (Diab, 2011;Greenfield et al, 2011;Ritz, 2009). Além disso, a acreditação é buscada pelas organizações para, através da melhoria dos processos, racionalizar a utilização dos recursos e, consequentemente, afetar positivamente os resultados financeiros da instituição (Greenfield, & Braithwaite, 2008;Shaw, 2004).…”

“…Para diversos autores, um dos maiores motivadores para os hospitais buscarem a acreditação é a preocupação em aumentar a segurança dos pacientes (Chassin, 2008;Giraud-Roufast, & Chabot, 2008;Seabra, 2007;Shaw, 2004;Turner, 2011). A acreditação aumentaria a segurança do paciente através do controle de processos críticos como prontuário do paciente, protocolos de conduta clínica e monitoramento de efeitos adversos (Chassin, 2008;Diab, 2011;Turner, 2011). Neste sentido, os resultados da pesquisa realizada por Sekimoto et al (2008) junto a hospitais universitários apontam que um dos grandes benefícios da acreditação é o impacto positivo no controle de infecções hospitalares.…”

“…Ao perseguir tal objetivo, os hospitais reduzem os riscos legais associados à atividade médica e hospitalar. Assim, algumas instituições buscam a acreditação com este objetivo (Buetow, & Willinegham, 2003;Diab, 2011;Giraud-Roufast, & Chabot, 2008). Além disso, com os padrões sob controle, os gestores almejam dedicar um cuidado mais humanizado ao paciente, atendendo às suas O que Motiva os Hospitais Brasileiros a Buscar a Acreditação?…”
