It will enable them to conduct an organizational self-assessment to identify how well they are meeting defined standards in five key areas: governance and leadership, ethics and patient rights, quality measurement and improvement, patient safety, and facility safety and emergency management. The guide will help them to gauge how much effort they need to make, and in which areas, to reach international standards. The assessment is not, in itself, intended for use as an accreditation tool, although it is likely to be a useful tool for organizations that are actively considering international accreditation. If the organization has already attained international accreditation, the Guide may serve to reinforce its commitment to the process of continual improvement. The document provides information regarding key principles underlying quality improvement initiatives. And it guides users through the important steps of undertaking a quality self-assessment. These include: getting organized, collecting data, identifying gaps and developing plans for meeting key standards. 2015-11-17T18:01:04Z 2015-11-17T18:01:04Z 2015 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/11/25236163/promoting-standards-private-health-sector-self-assessment-guide-health-care-organizations http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22975 English en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo International Finance Corporation Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research
