The success of this project depends on an "effective" preparatory phase. The following could be of great help to you.**   JCI Accreditation: The Holy Grail **Achieving JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation** has a profound impact on the performance and image of a healthcare facility. It shows more broadly an organization's commitment **to continuous improvement of quality and patient safety based on global standards.** More than 800 organizations have understood this and obtained the famous "Holy Grail" by JCI, a non-profit organization that, as a reminder, provides accreditation services. To successfully complete the certification exam, JCI **recommends a 10-step methodology for hospitals or clinics** from the "Getting to Know the Accreditation Manual" to "Finalizing the Details for the D-Day". The recommended preparation time is from 18 to 24 months depending on the institution. However, we will see **that it is possible to save time in certain stages.** Seize the opportunity of an E-preparation Indeed, this option can prove to be long and tedious .... Drafting of questionnaires, diffusion, collection, consolidation of data, analysis or surveys requires a consistent "administrative" treatment. **The more extensive your structure is, the more the inventory gets complex with a lot more data to be processed.** Now imagine **a digital tool that collects evaluation data, analyzes gaps, produces dashboards** to track the progress of your institution and your employees. A tool that would automatically produce the indicators to verify that you are ready to pass the accreditation! It has now become a reality. Going digital is a great opportunity to provide certification or accreditation like the JCI. Assess the level of compliance: proof by example Let's take a closer look with the example of [Liège University Health Center.](https://www.bluekango.com/en/company/news-et-press/item/le-chu-de-liege-prepare-son-accreditation-jci-avec-bluekango.html) The Belgian hospital has 920 beds and 7,500 employees. They are in the midst of preparing their JCI accreditation scheduled for late 2018. **In order to assess its level of compliance, the institution decided to rely on a digital platform in their preparatory phase.**   This example shows the potential in terms of time saving compared to traditional processing (manual data entries or the use of office spreadsheets with random targeting of respondents). **The use of a digital platform has benefits at all stages,** whether in the collection phase as we have just seen but also in the analysis with the possibility of automatically generating the evaluation report, or to ensure a real-time follow-up of actions needed to reduce gaps through an online action plan. **A pledge of safety, comfort, guaranteeing "saving time" for the hospital or clinic ... and an investment that will quickly pay for itself.**   Go further : [\> Liège University Health Center prepares for its JCI accreditation](https://www.bluekango.com/en/company/news-et-press/item/the-hospital-of-li%C3%A8ge-is-preparing-its-jci-accreditation-with-bluekango.html)   [![Nouveau call-to-action](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2302063/a85cff51-a7f6-4415-b291-b48d52198a44.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2302063/a85cff51-a7f6-4415-b291-b48d52198a44) . . . ![Romane CORRIGNAN](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/romane.png?width=75&height=75&name=romane.png) Romane CORRIGNAN Juriste QHSE - Content manager ### ![Selection de la redaction](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hubfs/Blog/icone/selection.svg) Editorial selection - #### [ESG Strategy: Between Governance & Operations](https://www.blog-qhse.com/en/esg-strategy-between-governance-operations) - [#CSR/ESG](https://www.blog-qhse.com/en/tag/csr-esg) - #### [Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP): Determining Critical Control Points and their Critical Limits](https://www.blog-qhse.com/en/hazard-analysis-critical-control-point-haccp) - [#Quality](https://www.blog-qhse.com/en/tag/quality-ehs) - #### [ISO 15189:2022 Quality Assurance For Medical Laboratories!](https://www.blog-qhse.com/en/iso-15189-2022-quality-assurance-for-medical-laboratories) - [#Health](https://www.blog-qhse.com/en/tag/health) ## ![Recommended by You](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hubfs/Blog/icone/star.svg) Recommended by You - [![smq-2](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/smq-2.jpg?width=150&name=smq-2.jpg)](https://www.bluekango.com/en/ressources/digitize-your-qms-for-better-efficiency/) ### [Digitize your QMS for better efficiency](https://www.bluekango.com/en/ressources/digitize-your-qms-for-better-efficiency/) - [![www.bluekango.comwp-contentuploads202401sante](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/www.bluekango.comwp-contentuploads202401sante.jpg?width=150&name=www.bluekango.comwp-contentuploads202401sante.jpg)](https://www.bluekango.com/en/success-stories/welcome-orientation-probation/) ### [Health care: Onboarding, Orientation, and probation process](https://www.bluekango.com/en/success-stories/welcome-orientation-probation/) - [![food-1](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hs-fs/hubfs/food-1.jpg?width=150&name=food-1.jpg)](https://www.bluekango.com/en/success-stories/digitalization-of-processes-in-the-food-and-beverage-industries/) ### [Digitalization of processes in the food & beverage industries](https://www.bluekango.com/en/success-stories/digitalization-of-processes-in-the-food-and-beverage-industries/) ![](https://www.blog-qhse.com/hubfs/Blog/icone/newsletter.svg) The Newsletter The best Quality & EHS, CSR/ESG & Health practices, delivered monthly by email.
