Accreditation by JCI

Since 2010, HYGEIA Hospital is a member of the small elite circle of only 500 hospitals in the world to having earned Joint Commission International’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Hospital Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its internationally-recognized standards. The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care.

During the initial accreditation (2009) & re-accreditations (2013, 2016, 2019) surveys, a team of Joint Commission International expert surveyors evaluated compliance with hospital standards related to a variety of areas, including the International Patient Safety Goals, patient assessment and care, anesthesia and surgical care, medication management, patient and family education, quality improvement, infection prevention and control, governance and leadership, facility management, staff qualifications and education, and information management.

Joint Commission International’s hospital standards are developed in consultation with worldwide health care experts and providers, as well as patients. The standards incorporate scientific literature and expert consensus to help organizations measure, assess and improve performance.
