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.
