MakatiMed earns new quality, patient safety accreditation
Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) has become the first hospital in the Philippines to be accredited under the Joint Commission International (JCI) 8th Edition Accreditation Standards. This latest edition sets a higher benchmark for quality and patient safety, focusing on risk reduction strategies, data-driven performance improvement and an enhanced emphasis on patient-centered care.
MakatiMed successfully concluded its fifth accreditation survey last Feb. 17 to Feb. 21.
JCI surveyors conducted a thorough assessment of MakatiMed’s systems, procedures, and patient care protocols. They commended the hospital for its best practices, outstanding commitment to quality, and dedication to patient safety, and also provided valuable recommendations and insights to further enhance operational excellence.
Dr. Saturnino P. Javier, MakatiMed interim copresident and CEO and medical director, expressed his gratitude to all divisions and personnel who played a role in preparing for and executing the survey.
“This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire MakatiMed community … [We] are proud of the strides we have made in strengthening our systems and ensuring that patient care remains our top priority.”
