In 2020, Icon Cancer Centre Singapore was the first oncology centre in Asia to achieve ACHSI accreditation signifying a commitment to patient quality and safety through a global network.
ACHSI accreditation is a leading and trusted healthcare quality improvement partner who provide organisations with international recognition and benchmark performance and outcomes to industry standards.
Icon Singapore’s evaluation was a five-day virtual assessment with assessors meeting with teams in Singapore and Australia. Patients were also surveyed with all interviewed recounting positive experience regarding information provided, explanation of their care and overall satisfaction of their clinical teams.
Group Manager Clinical Governance & Quality, Catherine Di Stasi said this international accreditation recognises a commitment to safety.
“Icon has robust governance structures and policies and procedures across all regions which benefit global communities and ensure safety is first and foremost,” said Catherine.
“The results of this assessment reflect an ongoing commitment by our teams and doctors to uphold the quality of our care and the safety of our patients and is a joint effort by our international team.”
Icon CEO – ASEAN and Hong Kong, Serena Wee said this has been a team effort.
“The Singapore team go above and beyond to ensure the safety of our patients, and it’s great to see us continue to improve and uphold best practice for quality care,” said Serena.
This follows Icon Cancer Centre Australia’s recent success in our first SNAP (Short Notice Assessment Pathway) accreditation audit assessments which saw New South Wales and ACT centres perform well above national standards.
*The Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program (EQuIP) is a quality assessment and improvement program for healthcare organisations that support excellence in patient care and services, and continuous quality improvement. EQuIP standards are rigorously developed and accredited by the ISQua External Evaluation Association (IEEA).
