Accreditation: a burden or a blessing?
You can learn how to accredit: guide aspirations
“A healthy team spirit is crucial to successfully accomplishing an accreditation project. To acquire these specific competences, external team coaching can be very useful. Gino Peremans and his team can be considered as references in coaching senior professionals. They turn this skill into art, adding a personal touch.” – Eric Wyffels – Medical director, OLV hospital Aalst
31 December 2017: D-day! Every general, categorial or university hospital in Flanders must be accredited according to established patient safety criteria, and also achieve quality benchmarks for structure, processes and results. The Flemish government has assigned the external accreditation bodies JCI and NIAZ-Qmentum to issue accreditations.
It may seem simple, but obtaining an accreditation has an enormous impact on a hospital. Everyone needs to be inspired towards a common goal: every unit, every doctor and every single hospital employee.
A challenge! The labyrinth of local service agreements, established rules and endless discussions often turns out to be a time and energy consuming obstacle, leaving a sour taste in advance. Not very welcome, if you want to make such a project a success.
Successful accreditation?
Studies show that preparation, clarity and direction are key to a successful accreditation. Those are the elements required to draw everyone into the story. The more people who support the story, the bigger the success will be.
