Through the process of accreditation, we wanted to achieve the standardization of our processes and systems, strengthen patients’ trust in the organization’s concern for patient safety and the quality of care, provide a safe and efficient work environment, listen to patients and their families, respect their rights, and involve them in the process of care as partners, and create a culture that is open to learning from the timely reporting of adverse events and safety concerns. Joint Commission International (JCI), which accredits the highest number of hospitals each year and is chosen by Dubai Health Authority (DHA), was our obvious choice. The strategy used was simple: we wanted to do it ourselves without the involvement of any consultants, we wanted to build a culture of quality within the organization even if it took time, and we were willing to wait. This is when we established a dedicated quality department, involving a few clinicians in this process. We developed quality systems and successfully achieved JCI accreditation for our two hospitals in 2007 and were reaccredited in 2010, 2014, and 2017. In the year 2015, two of our newly added services in Sharjah, chemotherapy and dialysis, underwent the JCI extension survey and were successfully accredited. Zulekha Hospital in Sharjah is the first hospital to be accredited by JCI in the Northern Emirates.
