Barbados
Fertility Centre and the accreditation process
This year the Joint
Commission International (JCI), the US health facility accreditation
programme that sets health care industry standards, awarded
the gold seal of approval to Barbados Fertility Centre.
This gives patients’
assurance in the medical establishments that they choose for
treatment. JCI conduct stringent tests to ensure that healthcare
offered across the world is transparent and that patients
can make an informed choice within a level playing field.
Barbados Fertility
Centre were tested for their patient’s pain assessment
& management, the risk assessment prior to treatments
and medical procedures, the storage and handling of hazardous
materials, the regular inspection and maintenance of equipment,
the clear identification of job descriptions and of medical
staff credentials.
The accreditation
process was considered by Barbados Fertility Centre to be
essential in improving the quality of care given to their
patients, and that by investing in new quality measurement
systems, resources and staff training they are providing the
best treatment for continued high success rates in IVF cycles.
These quality standards also ensure continuous improvement
as they will be monitored and reaccredited.
