Effect of Hospital Accreditation on Patient Safety Culture and Satisfaction: a Systematic Review EFFECT OF HOSPITAL ACCREDITATION ON PATIENT SAFETY CULTURE AND SATISFACTION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Yunita Hapsari, Amal Chalik Sjaaf Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia ABSTRACT Background: Hospital accreditation is carried out to improve the quality of hospital services and patient safety. This study aimed to statistically review the effect of hospital accreditation on patient safety culture and satisfaction. Subjects and Methods: A systematic review was conducted through articles searching. Four electronic databases namely PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and EBSCO were used in this study. The keywords were "hospital accreditation", "patient safety culture", "patient satisfaction", “improving”, and “impact". The inclusion criteria in this study were articles in the span of ten years of publication, and using English. The articles were selected by PRISMA flow diagram. Results: Ten journal reported that accreditation had a significant influence on patient safety culture. There was difference in patient satisfaction among accredited and non-accredited hospitals, but it was not statistically significant. Two articles mentioned that patient satisfaction was driven by hospital physical facilities. Patient safety culture after hospital accreditation was associated with commitment and support from all hospital staff and leadership. Service quality and patient satisfaction were associated with ongoing evaluation of the accreditation implementation. Conclusion: Hospital accreditation has an effect on patient safety culture and satisfaction. Improving patient safety culture after hospital accreditation requires commitment and support from al hospital staff and leadership. Ongoing evaluation of the accreditation implementation needs to be carried out to improve service quality and patient satisfaction. Keywords: accreditation, patient safety, culture, patient satisfaction, hospital Correspondence: Yunita Hapsari. Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, West Java.

  • Revisiting Accountability Concept and Practices in Makassar, Indonesia (A Study on 2 Private and Public Hospitals)
    Revisiting Accountability Concept and Practices in Makassar, Indonesia (A Study on 2 Private and Public Hospitals) Indrianty Sudirman1, Andi Indahwaty Sidin2, dan Nurdjanah Hamid3 {[email protected]} Universitas Hasanuddin, Indonesia1, 2, 3 Abstract. Public and private hospitals have their own characteristics and uniqueness in their management. This research aims to develop an accountability model of public and private hospitals that are able to meet the interests of multi-stakeholders, especially in the era of health service reform. The result shows that the management system in the Public Hospital tends to be systematic and measurable compared to the Private Hospital which tends to be more independent. Keywords: Accountability, Public and Private Hospitals, Health Care Reformation 1 Introduction Hospital accountability is important to accommodate changes and pressures in healthcare reform [1][2][3][4][5], especially with the existence of a national health financing institution whose role is to control accountable health management for multi stakeholders [3][6]. Accountability reporting policies of government agencies are still generic and vertical. Accountability literature is still traditional because it focuses more on vertical accountability and financial aspects, therefore it is less effective in assessing hospital accountability in accordance with the demands of the New Public Management [7][8]. In Indonesia, the adoption of Presidential Regulation No. 12 on National Health Insurance can have implications for hospital quality, ethics, and management. There is no specific and comprehensive mechanism and dimension of accountability assessment for hospitals even though an accountable hospital can provide effective, efficient and equitable health services. Government and private hospitals have their own characteristics and uniqueness in its management.

    International Healthcare Accreditation: an Analysis of Clinical Quality and Patient Experience in the UAE Subashnie Devkaran, FACHE, MScHCM, BSc (Physiotherapy), CPHQ, Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2014 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. I ABSTRACT A mixed method research design was used to answer the question; ‘does accreditation have an impact on hospital quality, clinical measures and patient experience?’ The thesis contains three study components: 1) A case study determining the predictors of patient experience; 2) a cross-sectional study examining the relationship of hospital accreditation and patient experience and 3) A four year time series analysis of the impact of accreditation on hospital quality using 27 quality measures. A case study analysis of patient experience, using a piloted, validated and reliable survey tool, was conducted in Al Noor Hospital. The survey was administered via face- to-face interviews to 391 patients. Patient demographic variables, stay characteristics and patient experience constructs were tested against five patient experience outcome measures using regression analysis. The predictors of positive patient experience were the patient demographics (age, nationality, and health status), hospital stay characteristics (length of stay and hospital treatment outcome) and patient experience constructs (care from nurses, care from doctors, cleanliness, pain management and quality of food). Recommendations were made on how hospital managers can improve patient experience using these modifiable factors.

  • Health Impact Assessment As a Tool for Population Health Promotion and Public Policy
    HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT AS A TOOL FOR POPULATION HEALTH PROMOTION AND PUBLIC POLICY A Report Submitted to the Health Promotion Development Division of Health Canada by Project Team: C. James Frankish, Ph.D. Lawrence W. Green, Dr. P.H. Pamela A. Ratner, Ph.D., R.N. Treena Chomik, M.P.H. Craig Larsen, M.H.A. Institute of Health Promotion Research University of British Columbia May 1996 Health Impact Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The criteria for evaluation of health, social, environmental and economic policies and programs are changing. This is particularly true within the health sector where many governments are adopting an understanding of health that includes a focus on the social and environmental determinants of health. They recognize that societal structures, attitudes and behaviours influence health profoundly, that prevention is better (or at least more timely) than cure, and that prevention is a way to reduce disability and social dependence. Consequently, how social, environmental and economic policies influence health and the prevention or production of illness, disability or death needs systematic monitoring at all levels of government. With increasing official commitment to decentralization and community participation in decision making and growing consideration of the social determinants of health, some ambiguity, and perhaps controversy, remains about what impact on health this new perspective will have, what strategies will work to achieve beneficial outcomes, what criteria should be applied to judging health impact, how health impact assessment can work to produce better decisions, and what its ultimate influence on policies and program decisions may be. Most calls for evidence-based decision making offer little indication as to how the use of health impact assessments can lead to "better" health decisions.
