Academic Medical Center Hospital Accreditation An Academic Medical Center is a tertiary care hospital that is organizationally and administratively integrated with a medical school. In addition to the eligibility requirements for JCI-accredited hospitals, academic medical centers must meet additional criteria: The applicant hospital is organizationally or administratively integrated with a medical school.
The applicant hospital is the principal site for the education of both medical students undergraduates and postgraduate medical specialty trainees for example, residents or interns from the medical school noted in criterion one. At the time of application, the applicant hospital is conducting medical research with approval and oversight by an Institutional Review Board IRB or research ethics committee.

All rights reserved. Hospital accreditation remains a cornerstone for ensuring at least a basic level of quality, at least for things that the health care system assesses. Patients want to know that a hospital provides safe and effective care, and accreditation, if done right, can be a powerful tool to offer that assurance. The problem, it seems, is that accrediting organizations are not focusing on what actually matters to patients.
The criticism that these organizations spend enormous amounts of energy requiring hospitals to focus on things like signs in the hallway or how documentation is done appears to have some merit. These are not uniquely US concerns. Over the past few decades, accreditation has been gaining traction around the world.
As global health care leaders increasingly focus on improving quality of health systems, accreditation has been considered a valuable tool.
This is particularly important as countries rush toward universal health coverage, so ensuring that the delivery system is of adequate quality becomes paramount. The emerging data should add some caution to the excitement that accreditation alone will offer that assurance of high-quality care. So what approach can policy makers take to ensure that accreditation achieves the goals we want?
First, there must be a clear delineation of high-quality care good outcomes, good experience and that must be the guiding principle behind accreditation.
Hospitals should be held accountable for those outcomes. Accrediting bodies should focus on those processes and structural factors that have been convincingly shown to be associated with good outcomes. If we change the way we approach accreditation, we can ensure that we are actually providing quality care for all. Corresponding Author: Ashish K.
