MSQH Hospital Accreditation Standards
|
MSQH HOSPITAl
ACCREDITATION STANDARDS (3rd EDITION)
Measurement requires a reference standard.
Therefore to measure the quality of care,
standards are required against which
organizations and individuals can be compared.
Such standards must be developed in consultation
with relevant professional organizations,
reflect currently accepted practices and be
widely accepted by all the parties involved. As
the development of standards is an evolutionary
process, the standards shall be frequently
revised and updated in the light of advances in
healthcare. Measurement alone will not assure
quality but will define the extent to which a
healthcare facility and service provider
provides quality care. There must be a mechanism
by which any defect identified by the
measurement is corrected.
MSQH standards are developed and edited in
cooperation with professionals from both public
and private healthcare providers. Malaysian
Hospital Accreditation Standards are grouped
into five (5) major areas of concerned. These
areas of concerned are:
- Organisation and Management
- Human Resource and Management
- Policies and Procedures
- Facilities and Equipment; and

meet the safety requirements of the standards
will not be accredited although it has met the
rest of the standards.

These standards provide the basis for
organisational assessment of the delivery of
quality patient care and services, and the
utilisation of available resources. These
standards are applicable to all types of
hospitals - public and private, large and small,
urban and rural.
