摘　　要：Healthcare accreditation is an evaluation and certification process by which healthcare organizations assess and improve their quality of services,safety of care,and thereby enhance the performance of their organizations.Four of the leading international accreditation programs offer a comprehensive consultation and certification process for healthcare providers in diverse capacities and locations.It is crucial for healthcare providers to consider which accreditation program is the most value-added for their healthcare services.Therefore,this paper aims to compare the above accreditation programs in terms of several standards,structure of the programs,and fees.This information is beneficial for healthcare providers to be informed not only in selecting a specific accreditation program but also in understanding the overall process of various healthcare accreditations.Healthcare accreditation is an evaluation and certification process by international standards in which independent external evaluators investigate a wide range of internal operations in healthcare organizations.These may include safety of care,patient engagement,infection control,facility management,information technology management,and governance.Collectively,the primary objective of the certification process is to ensure that,where applicable,the accredited healthcare organization can provide safe accommodation and high-quality medical services to its international patient base.Furthermore,the process of attaining those licenses also encourages continuous quality improvement in an organization’s internal structure and acts as a method of identifying and implementing the best practices researched by subject matter experts from around the world.
