Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, has received the Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation for the third time running. Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, becomes the third Fortis facility in India to maintain its accreditation status for the third consecutive term. A JCI accreditation is valid for three years, following which the facility is reassessed.
Notably, Fortis Bannerghatta Road was assessed on the recently revised JCI standards, which are more stringent and demanding. “JCI’s primary focus is to ensure improvement in patient safety and quality of healthcare through education, advisory, accreditation and certification services. We are proud to have achieved this distinction for the third time and to be looked upon as one of the most efficient multi-speciality hospitals,” said Karthik Rajagopal, Regional Director-South, Fortis Hospitals.
“This accreditation will add more value to Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta and will further enhance the confidence of our patients in quality, safety, treatment and services,” said Dr Deepak Balani, Medical Head, Fortis Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road.
The JCI grants accreditation to healthcare facilities in more than 60 countries after a rigorous evaluation of several parameters, including the quality of patient-care and patient-safety. The JCI accreditation is widely considered as a “seal of approval” by medical travelers seeking quality healthcare services.
