What's covered
HSO’s Global Health Care Services Standards are for acute care organizations providing health care services to clients who travel outside their home country to obtain health care. Organizations serving these clients often have an international department responsible for coordinating all aspects of the client’s visit to the organization.
The Global Health Care Services Standards address structures, processes, and outcomes for these international departments. They are part of Qmentum International’s broader acute care standards, which address the performance of the actual procedures (i.e., the Surgical Care Services Standards address policies and processes for safe surgery).
The Global Health Care Services Standards contain the following sections:
- Investing in global health care services
- Having the right people
- Delivering quality global health care services
- Maintaining accessible and efficient clinical information systems
- Having a positive impact on outcomes
