  2. Outline • Thailand’s Health system • Development of Hospital Accreditation (HA) in Thailand • Hospital accreditation as a mechanism to regulate health care system and to promote public-private partnership

  5. Some of major challenges in quality of health care in Thailand • Inequity due to mal-distribution of health resources • Increasing health care expenditure • Introduction of close-ended paymentmechanisms by the major healthsecurity schemes • Expansions of business health sectorsand the governmental “Medical hub”policies • Increasing trend of patient complaints and lawsuits Threats against quality of health care

  6. Outline • Thailand’s Health system • Development of Hospital Accreditation (HA) in Thailand • Hospital accreditation as a mechanism to regulate health care system and to promote public-private partnership

  7. Initiated as a research and development project in 1997 under the Health System Research Institute (HSRI) with financial support from WHO, TRF and HSRI of Thailand • 35 pilot public and private hospitals • Adapted Canadian approach (+ External consultant) • Collaboration for Hospital Quality Improvement and Accreditation • Developed into “Institute for Hospital Quality Improvement and Accreditation” under HSRI • Become “Healthcare Accreditation Institute (Public organization)” since 2009

  8. Initial goals of the HA program in Thailand Mechanisms to stimulate and facilitate hospitals to improve quality in an organization-wide and systematic manner Accredit the hospital quality Accredit the hospital quality system

Important field operations • Selection and training of peer reviewers or surveyors • Supervision and ongoing education of surveyors • Education and consultation about the standards to health care organizations • Pre-survey processes • Development of a standardized evaluation methodology to assess standards performance • On-site surveys (10-15,000 baht per man-day) • Surveyor documentation and scoring • Post-survey analysis of surveyor findings
