Accreditation is a long-term process that demands commitment. There is a great deal of preparatory work leading up to a survey and then subsequent performance and improvement work being done to ensure those accreditation standards are maintained. As mentioned in Joint Commission International’s (JCI) website, organizations that achieve and maintain JCI accreditation are dedicated to providing their patients the best level of care possible. 29 hospitals, which equals 3% of all JCI accredited healthcare organizations in the world, are operating in Istanbul.
