QUALITY OF CARE PROJECT |
|
|
The Medical
Tourism Association has launched its Quality of Care Project
which will change global healthcare. Currently patients,
insurance companies and employers from around the world cannot
compare or assess a hospitals quality of care, because each
hospital uses a different “methodology” in how they
collect and report hospital statistics and quality indicators.
The leading hospitals from around the world have agreed to work
with the Medical Tourism Association to create a “single
methodology” for reporting. This project will change Global
Healthcare as we know it, and will allow for the first time ever
patients, employers and insurance companies around the world to
be able to compare the top international hospitals quality of
care. The information gathered from quality of care project will
be posted on the Medical Tourism Associations website, which
allow people to view the quality of care of international
hospitals online in one place. This project should help the
growth of medical tourism and help patients to feel more
comfortable and confident when going overseas for surgery. This
project was launched as a part of the Medical Tourism
Association’s mission to provide “transparency”
as to quality of care data in the Medical Tourism / Global
Health care world.
Medical Tourism is also referred to
as Health Tourism, Medical Travel, Tourist Medicine and Global
Health Care.
Any international hospital wishing to
participate in the Quality of Care project or anyone inquiring
about it can contact the association at

Association project will also allow patients to obtain online
