The Heart and Vascular team at Mediclinic City Hospital has achieved certification from the Joint Commission International for its acute coronary syndrome (ACS) programme following a rigorous virtual survey on November 10-11. During the survey an expert from the Joint Commission International evaluated compliance with all the relevant certification standards including the expertise of the cardiologists, nursing staff, cardiac physiologists and wider team members. The surveyor conducted observations and interviews with staff and patients. Joel Roos, Vice President, International Accreditation, Quality Improvement and Safety, Joint Commission International said, “We commend the cardiac team at Mediclinic City Hospital for using certification to reduce variation in its clinical processes and to strengthen its programme structure and management framework for cardiac patients. We congratulate Mediclinic City Hospital for this outstanding achievement. This certification reflects its commitment to providing the highest quality of care for cardiac patients.”
