YES or NO to JCI
Information
JCI Accreditation is both beneficial and disadvantageous to healthcare providers. What I feel most of the healthcare providers are getting JCI for the sake of marketing and make some big American companies supply patients to them.

I partly agree with Prof. Green but then, we also need to think that It is one of THE prominent body in field and from a nation that has the highest no. of people that may opt for MT (Medical Tourism). Again the standards that are mentioned by JCI are best and not so easy to comply with. Also who is not marketing today? Its a tight rope situation... is not it ?? Feedback awaited pls.

Congratulations Dr.Mubbashir. on pioneering the act of stimulating the thought process of approving or not the accreditation offered by agencies .
Prof.Green congratulations on carrying on the path and adding another pearl to the string.

Hi all,
JCI is only one form of hospital accreditation. It is a US-based private sector company, and is therefore a just a commodity to spend money on, like a car, a laptop or a McDonald hamburger.
Where there is a commodity, there should be choice and competition.
Choice is of course the very lifeblood of a free market capitalist economy and I very much hope that, in the spirit of competition and free trade, people will look at what they are getting for their money before parting with it!
In the spirit of providing the readership with choice, and providing competition, I have started a discussion entitled "Trent Accreditation - Yes or No?".
Best wishes,
Steve
