In Oct. 2014, after a painstaking survey over a one-year period, BIMC Hospital Nusa Dua, was awarded international accreditation by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI), the first in Indonesia, and one of only two hospitals in SE Asia to gain the coveted accreditation.
Almost two years later and part of the post accreditation commitment, BIMC Hospital Nusa Dua recently passed the mandatory periodic review by the ACHS’s assessors, Dr. Maria Strickland and Professor Marc Tennant, achieving “mastery” level from the initial survey.
The Periodic Review is an on-site analysis and survey that seeks to assist in maintaining the accreditation standards for continuous improvement in quality, safety and service.
